Thank you so much to the amazing Adele and Tom for bunny sitting Martini! They were very prompt with communication, came round the weekend before to meet Martini and familiarise themselves with his needs and my home. They sent a daily photo which was so appreciated. Came home to a very loved & happy bunny and a very tidy home. They’d gone above and beyond to make sure the bed was changed, washed and sheets dried for me to come home too and the rest of the house was sparkling. I’d highly recommend these two and would happily have them back … as would Martini 🙏
Alex and Chris did a wonderful job caring for my home and pets (two cats and a dog). From our earliest communications, it was a pleasure being in touch with them, and Alex and Chris took time to send me updates and photos during their sit. I returned home to very content animals, and a super tidy and clean home. I'd be delighted to have Alex and Chris back at any time in the future - they are brilliant housesitters. Many thanks.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

Home from home dog boarding - couldn't ask for better care for your loved dogs! Our lab has stayed at Diamond dogs pet hotel several times over the past year & he always comes home relaxed and happy. Happy return customer & would highly recommend! 👌 …
I would highly recommend Donna and Anthony to look after your dog. They have looked after my cocker spaniel Roxy a few times and I would not hesitate to put her back again. I received daily photograph and update on how Roxy was and could see she was being treated exactly how I would treat her. I always recommend Donna as she has a 5 star dog hotel xx
A huge big thanks to Donna and Anthony for looking after my fur boy! Frankie loved his stay and has came back even more affectionate than ever ( he must have been clapped all day long). We were sent regular updates which put our mind at rest. I will definitely be using Diamond Dogz in the future. .Fabulous service.
Think I had a different experience from a lot of other people there was no meet and greet I was met at the door by a man I booked well in advance Donna gave me a date which was suitable to both of us this was to be a trial sleepover before I went for a 2 week booking. On arriving with Alfie my dog .I was met at the door by a man I assumed Donna was in another room he took Alfie. Only question I got asked was does he take tablets Didn’t get any updates or photos I had to text and ask how he was told he was ok .Alfie has been very distressed since getting him back to the point I can’t leave him he was a very content dog he was quite happy going for a snooze while I was out now he pines like a wolf (pug) also found out that Donna had actually left my dog to go to a Celtic football match I would have preferred it she had cancelled to arrange another suitable time also was told he was quite happy going out back for his toilet which Alfie does not .
The very best care you could possibly wish for. Both Anthony and Donna are genuine dog lovers and the dogs know it. I'm a devoted dog owner and absolutely hate leaving Biba and I honestly don't think we'd ever get away on holiday if it wasn't for this home from home Pet Hotel. Fab...u...Lous!!!
Hi we have 2 Bernese mountain dogs that are spoiled rotten and I did a meet and greet with Donna from diamond dogs our 2 girls loved her so I didn't hesitate to book our girls for an overnight stay to begin with they loved it and have stayed several times since p.s. keep up the good work Donna
Fantastic friendly service! Makes it feel like your dog is staying with family. Have now used the service a few times and already booked in for the next one.
Delighted with Diamond Dogs Donna totally spoiled my Pointer over Xmas would have no hesitation in taking my boy back 😁😁 …
Very convenient for Clackmannanshire, not expensive easy to find and owner is excellent. Thoroughly recommended.
Donna is amazing with dogs .Great service.highly recommended.
Hayley has been walking my dogs for 6 years now and she feels more like family to me. I trust her (and her family) completely with Roddy and Ghillie and they adore her. Whenever her car pulls into the street they know it is Hayley and are beyond excited to see her. They now stay with Hayley and her family overnight, twice per week, due to my work commitments and she sends me lovely photos showing how happy and relaxed they are. Hayley is very accommodating if I have to change at short notice, due to work commitments. I can't recommend Happy Pooch highly enough.
I have used Happy pooch for the last 6 years Hayley and Gav have been absolutely fantastic within my little dogs they treat him Like part of their family, they are there at short notice for me when things change and I need a dog sitter, I always leave Barney ( the dog ) with happy pooch when I go on holiday as I know he will be very well looked after. I can’t recommend happy pooch high enough
I was lucky to have Haley recommended to me by a friend approximately 6 years ago . I cannot speak highly enough of Haley’s kindness and absolute dedication to the dogs in her care . The whole family care so much about the animals . I am grateful to them all as it was a difficult time in my life . I am so pleased to say I consider them wonderful friends . And recommend Haley as safe and secure hands for your precious pet .
Excellent dog walker, very reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves going out with Hayley,. Also used home boarding which was just as good. Couldn't recommend enough.
What an outstanding service. You get value for money and made feel really welcome. This is my second time using Happy Pooch and will certainly not be my last. Both my dogs love going there and I am put at ease by the respect and deication the team show. Thank you guys you are highly recommended
Friendly my girl loves staying with Haley, great peace of mind when go on holiday she is being well looked after.
Very reliable dog boarding and dog walking service. I had to use them for my dog as I had to travel on emergency. Came back to a very happy and well walked dog!
Great family run business. Lovely welcoming home with lots of space for the dogs. Would 100% recommend
thanks
I’ve been working with Anna for almost a year now and I couldn’t be happier. I started with some 1:1 sessions with my Romanian rescue and we also did the puppy class which was great ! Even with my very barky puppy, I felt comfortable in the classes and feel like Nala has made a lot of progress! She’s joined the group walk pack last august and Friday is now her favourite day of the week ! I couldn’t recommend Anna more, she’s flexible and able to cater for all your needs !
Anna has been walking my 2 year old lab cross, Clover, for over a year and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is well qualified and genuinely loves all the dogs. They have a brilliant time on her group walks. It’s so reassuring to have someone you trust take such good care of your dog. You are guaranteed a tired and happy dog at the end of the day!
Anna is a great dog walker. She cares about the health and welfare of our dogs. Nothing is too much effort for her and she is flexible when we need her to be. Happy dogs - Happy owners. Highly recommended.
My Labrador loves going on his dog walks with Anna and is always delighted to see her car. He always comes home tired and happy and I know he is being very well taken care of.
Anna has a real passion for dogs and we loved our private lesson with her - we’ll sign up for the recall masterclass next!
The company as a whole have helped us immensely since we got our puppy, Milo, in April. Initially a home visit from Scott to help start us on our training journey, his gentle nature was what made me then book onto puppy school. We then settled Milo in for puppy day care which has been such a help on days where I need peace of mind that Milo is cared for when my day is full on. Milo adores puppy care, he drags me from the car to the entrance! Recently I have attended Scott's group walks as well which has been such a help. The group isn't just about walking, it provides me with social interaction with other dog owners, as well as personalised training tips for my own puppy. Scott spent a lot of time with Milo which has greatly improved certain things I was struggling with. His approach with dog training is incredible, always about finding the positives and helping the dog to achieve rather than setting them up to fail. Cannot recommend Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre enough.
We’ve been taking our four legged companion to SDBC for a while now. The weekend classes are a god send for new and existing pet owners. Having never had a dog before we felt very welcome and comfortable with such an open, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable team. We also make use of the day care centre which our pup loves going to! The dogs are well looked after and paired up based on a number of factors. So we are always safe in the knowledge that pup is having the best time with his other doggo pals! Keep an eye on Facebook for their cameo appearance! The shop has an array of delicious deli treats for our boy. Everything is great quality and well priced! Beats all the high street chains by a long shot in my opinion! Finally, Scott’s walking groups are a great way to work with a skilled trainer on how to get the best from your dog whilst walking in loads of different situations. Scott is incredibly patient, even with our overly excited spaniel! It’s a great way to get practical hands on experience while enjoying a nice walk with great company (the humans are ok too 😜) Can’t stress enough how much we appreciate everything the team do and would encourage anyone to come along and meet them! 🐶
Highly recommend Scott and SDBC. Went along to Scott’s teenage tear away class and came away wishing we’d used SDBC puppy classes. Attended individual recall session with Scott, great improvement with this and lots more confident letting our dog off lead. More recently had a consultation at home with Scott then a walk around our local park. Scott listens to everything and understood the difficulties we were experiencing with barking at and passing other dogs. He offered great advice and showed handling skills putting me at ease and helping rebuild my confidence and my dog’s. Definitely been an improvement all round while out on walks. These are enjoyable again with very few occasions of barking however thanks to Scott I’m now more comfortable handling these situations. 😊🐶😊
I've been taking Custard on adventure walks and walking with other dogs with Scott. The group sessions have been amazing for Custard! Not just for his socialisation, but for his little tics which I've not seen, that Scott has pointed out; something that isn't easy to notice by yourself. Custard can now walk with other dogs, no matter the breed without pulling constantly. I highly recommend anyone who needs help with walking with others or even trying new areas is extremely worth while. A couple of pictures and an after one, once the boy got back home from the great social! Thanks Scott, all I ask is more walks with lots of water please 😂.
I’ve been going to training and playgroup with my Puppy since November and SDBC is now part of our life and have made some lovely new friends. Everyone at the centre is amazing and have really helped my wee Teddy. We recently went on the puppy walks and I would highly recommend it. It really does help you put what you learn in class into practice and has really benefited us. Scott is great and takes time to help with any issues your pup has. During the 5 walks we saw such an improvement with all our fur babies.
Our experience with Stirling Dog Behavioral Centre has been first class. We were having problems with our 2 dogs (ages 4 and 6) barking and lunging at other dogs and we didn’t know how to stop it. Also, our younger dog had bitten the vet nurse at a vaccination appointment, and we had stopped going to the vet. We were going to go on holiday to Cornwall with the dogs and we knew we wouldn’t be able to control the dogs in a busy place. We had not really trained them properly, which was remiss of us but it’s never too late to start! Scott came to visit us at home first and assessed our situation. We live in the country and our dogs were not meeting other dogs routinely and particularly the younger one who was a lockdown puppy hadn’t met other dogs all through her first year. We started playing training games with the dogs and encouraging them to engage more with us and rewarding the behavior we wanted. So, at a basic level if the dog turns to you, you say yes and give a treat. Then a few weeks later we joined the classes. It was amazing our dogs could cope with being in a big group of dogs as they are all busy doing exercises and games, they didn’t bark etc. Our younger dog is still lunging but we know what to do now and hopefully this behavior will become less. We are being trained to train our dogs! The training has also helped us take the dogs to the vet. Our last vaccinations went like a dream as we distracted them with sausages! Their heads were in the sausage container they didn’t even know the vaccination was going in. So we are heading to Cornwall next week and we are looking forward to walks on the beach with well behaved dogs!
Nothing short of FANTASTIC! We have taken our pup to both the puppy classes, adventure walks and puppy play group. The puppy classes are well structured and a great source of knowledge for any level of dog owner. However, as first time dog owners they really helped reassure us more than anything that we were doing the right thing! The team are patient and always happy to offer any advice needed. Great value for money and the location is perfect for parking etc. Great for any aged dog and great for socialising. The adventure walks are a great way to get out and enjoy the great outdoors with your puppy and other owners. Scott usually takes the sessions and is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure everyone is included. Never misses a training puppertunity! Puppy Play group is a great way of socialising your puppy with other dogs! There are a great mix of dogs and our pup loves going. We’ve noticed a marked improvement in his confidence since he started going. The biggest thing for me is that they care! They care about the dogs and they care about giving the owners the tools to success. Can’t recommend visiting the centre enough! Wouldn’t be without it! 🐶
Would highly recommend Scott and the team at SDBC. I had a consultation with Scott and then attended group classes with my 2 year old rescue. I have also been on one of the adventure walks with Scott. All the staff are very knowledgeable and show great care towards every single dog they meet. Me and my pup now have a lot more confidence with the training methods we have learned
A wonderful place where dogs come first but their humans are nurtured too Ann and her team genuinely love their charges and it’s not just a business or a job to them. I had a huge amount of support for my Border Collie to the extent of SDBC helping me find the most fantastic home for her. I have a new puppy now and we are both looking forward to working with the team again. They also sell a wide range of natural chews and treats and will advise owners on the most appropriate choice. The dogs really love going there and that’s a better endorsement than this human can give. So it’s 5 stars from me too.
Our lunatic black Labrador puppy entered our lives in February 2020 just before lockdown. The timing was terrible and socialisation a real problem. A recommendation led us to the amazing team at the Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre and we’ve never looked back. Luffy loves it. He started with puppy playgroup and now goes once a week as a day care dog (for his own benefit, not because he needs to) and for obedience classes. He loves it; we’ve both benefited enormously and have come so far. So far, in fact, he now has a baby sister. I simply can’t recommend this place highly enough.
We leave our wee Barney and Rosie with Alison and Fraser and know they get totally spoiled, it's totally home from home and gives you great comfort when you go away. Lovely wee haven for our pampered pooches 😂😂😂❤️ …
I was anxious about leaving my pup with strangers as he is very timid around new people. But when I collected him he was so happy and playing with the resident dogs! The owners couldn’t be lovelier and I would highly recommend!
This was the first time we have left our 15 month old ALD with anyone other than family. We only left her a few days but when we went back to collect her, she had already made herself at home and was quite happy amongst the other doggy residents - I was so pleased and can’t recommend Alison & Fraser highly enough. Alison and Fraser even had time to sent me a pic of Roxy chilling on the top of the sofa 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾. Thank you again Alison & Fraser for taking such good care of our girl. She’ll be looking forward to visiting you again in July . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alison and Fraser are great with wee Dolly. She loves it there as it's more like another home for her. We feel she's sage, cared for and indeed loved there.
Our buddy been visiting for days n sleepovers for 2years now its a second home to him now our wee bonnie also visiting too, Alison and frazer treat the dogs as their own, brilliant place for boarding be it day or night also holidays wouldn't put my dogs anywhere else big safe secure property, I can go to work or on holiday knowing my babies are looked after.
Alison is fab, our wee Lhasa, he loves going on his holidays and Alison always caters to our wee old man’s needs! He can’t wait to come back later this year only this time he’s bringing a puppy along with him 🫶 …
Amazing my bundle of 3 had a great time , such a lovely couple and dogs are well looked after. Like a home from home already booked in for next visit. Thank you so much ❤️🐶🐶🐶 …
amazing dog boarding and lovely people. Always know our boys are well looked after when they are staying
Always great to see the dogs having a good time
Best dog minder ever
So glad I joined safe paws. I had such an anxious little pup who couldn't stand to be away from me, now he can't wait to get into the centre in the mornings. Really changed his life! So grateful to all the staff and everything they have done to help him. Can't recommend them enough!
This place is a wonderful example of how to run a dog day care centre. Well organised and run with the safety of the dogs paramount. Shirley is supported by a wonderful team who all made my training a very worthwhile experience. The course is well structured which provides plenty of safe, supervised practice with the dogs. A great experience and comes highly recommended to anyone who wishes to become a day care provider.
Attended the 3 day training course for opening. Highly professional and wealth of knowledge. Practical training was to a high standard. Lovely to see such well trained staff, happy dogs and a well run daycare centre. I would recommend training course to anyone starting up their own daycare and to any owners looking for Dog daycare in Stirling. Kèep up the awesome work Shirley and staff team
I attended the dog day care trainers course here and absolutely loved it! Shirley is so knowledgable and down to earth, no question goes unanswered. The centre is fantastic with well trained staff who make sure no dog is ever left out, any dog is lucky to be a part of Safepaws!
Excellent my dog comes home thoroughly exhausted. I can now take him for walks and he will integrate with other dogs. He says he loves going. How they get him to nap at lunchtime!! Is a 5 star in my eyes. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who has a dog staff so patient and love their job. Long may they keep going.
I’ve used safe paws since my dog has been 12 weeks old. He loves his day each week and is now 7 years old and still acts like he is 12 weeks of age every time he goes through the door. Fantastic service and wonderful staff
My gorgeous boy lenny loves his days with safe paws. He has made lots of doggy friends. Thank you safepaws for also teaching him recall! Highly recommend
What a fantastic training course Shirley delivers :) had the most amazing experience learning with the team, All the dogs and pups seem so happy here and get 10/10 care from the handlers
Henris favourite place. Can't ask for more. Great facilities friendly staff and look out for your dog.
Monty, my miniature schnauzer has been going here since he was 12 weeks old, his tail wags when we approach the entrance, he is a very happy doggo and the staff are amazing
I engaged with Paddy quite a few months ago now and introduced him to my pup, Rocky. We quickly built up a good rapport and Rocky was very quick to accept Paddy. Together we came up with an active and workable plan for laying the foundations for training and learning for both Rocky and myself. We contine with consistent and successful training and meet and greet sessions, thank you so much to Paddy and Mhairi and all if Flint Family Pet Services. We would be lost without this constant, caring and top class support.
Excellent input on training our dog. Paddy was lovely, his expertise and ability to understand dogs was so helpful. Our dog loved him! We would definitely recommend him. Thank you Paddy.
Kerry was kind enough to help us out with dog sitting at very short notice. We have an anxious lurcher with separation anxiety, but Kerry was an absolute hero, taking Ripley’s “quirks” in her stride. She kept us updated with photos and texts, reassuring us that Ripley (and herself!) was OK. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to help us out, it’s such a shame we live in Edinburgh or we would have been ecstatic to be able to have her walk Ripley on a regular basis! We will definitely use FurFriends in future for all our dog sitting and walking needs when we are through in Stirlingshire. Thank you again Kerry for going out of your way to help us out during such a difficult time. Ripley sends her love ❤️
Bodhi absolutely loves his group walks with Kerry and all his new friends. He can be a little anxious but he took to Kerry and the walks straight away. Kerry clearly loves all dogs and extremely knowledgeable and so natural with them. She keeps us up to date with how he is doing and uploads pictures from each walk so you can see how much fun your beloved pets are having. My mud loving boy always comes back spotless too, I would recommend Fur Friends all day long!
If you are looking for a friendly, reliable Dog Walker then I can’t recommend FurFriends enough! Our boys Rupert and Rafiki have been walked by Kerry for several months now and they couldn’t be happier. They are always excited to see her and come home thoroughly worn out! Kerry even takes the time to give them a clean down before bringing them back!
Kerry & Nicole are very caring & professional dog walkers and they provided excellent care for our big girl Tequila :-)They quickly bonded with our doggo & literally saved us. We really appreciate their exceptional service,clear communication and overall attentiveness to our dog. Thank you girls once again:-)
Kerry is absolutely wonderful with our dog Maisie. She is so caring and kind to the dogs and I would absolutely 💯 recommend her. We got Maisie just before lockdown and she was not very good with anyone apart from us but Kerry definitely won her heart and she goes off with her with her tail up. So happy.
Japser loves his walks with Fur friends and his recall is even improving. 3rd walker we've tried, much prefer walks on his own, he's much more settled in the evenings and the advice to have a morning walk for him has stopped him wrecking the house. Kerry knows him so well already and even the cats go to her which is unheard of! She really cares like they are her own. 5 stars all round.
I use FurFriends for my cat Ginger when I’m on holiday, away overnight or working extended hours. He is an extremely timid cat, but has taken to Kerry so well. Friendly, reliable service and a real animal lover. Highly recommend!!
Archie loved his walk with Kerry. We are going to work on some 1 to 1 recall and then he hopes to return to his group walking in the near future.
Brilliant, caring and attentive cat sitting provided for my kitten by Rose. No hesitation in recommending her. My kitten particularly enjoyed being brushed by Rose. 😻 …
First time leaving me two cats with a pet sitter well I must say it is the best thing for them and for me . Rose was wonderful she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos . I think they were disappointed to see me rather than Rose. Already booked Rose for my next break . Highly recommend her. Julie
Very impressed with Rose's service. Our first time using a cat sitter and would definitely recommend. Our cat can be very reserved around new people but took to Rose right away. The daily updates certainly left me feeling reassured we'd made the right decision.
Rose took great care of our furry ones and made sure they were happy while we were away. We received daily updates and photos of them playing which was reassuring. Cats were settled and happy when we returned. Will be booking with Home Loving Cats again - super service!
Would happily recommend Rose. She cared for our cat when we were away and reassuringly sent us photos and updates. Will not hesitate to call on Rose again.
Rose has been a fantastic support as I settle a new rescue in, being able to respond quickly and effectively when I reach out. She communicates clearly in advance of any visit, agreed expectations with you, and supports you to understand your needs and how she can best assist. When Rose visits she takes lots of pictures and videos with your pooch, and comes with her own toys to boot. Rose is a genuinely warm and caring cat sitter and I can’t recommend her and her professionalism enough, book her now, you won’t regret it!
Can’t recommend Rose highly enough, I’m so happy we found her. Every day while we were away, she sent pictures on WhatsApp and let us know how our cat was getting on. We all loved seeing them, I actually think he’s missing her more now than he missed us!! It was also really helpful that she put our bins out and tried to keep our plants going. For anyone whose cats hate catteries, Rose is the perfect solution, our cat was definitely happier in his home environment.
Rose is so reliable and fantastic at what she does. Really makes us feel at ease with the updates and is helpful in whatever you need (even taking out the bins for our collection day!!). She will take great care of your cat.
Very happy with the service provided by Rose. Rose came over before our holiday to meet our cat and learn about her routine etc. and did a fantastic job of taking care of her while we were away. Would recommend Rose and would definitely use this service in the future. Thanks again Rose!!
Rose is amazing, she looked after our two fur babies with utmost care. We enjoyed the daily updates and it gave us peace of mind that they were well cared for. Thanks Rose!🐈⬛🐾🐈 …
Barking Mad Edinburgh is a great reliable service and I can't thank the girls enough for their attention to detail, great service and care. No problem is too big and they are always willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommended and we look forward to using Barking Mad Edinburgh in the future!
Tina and Stuart are genuine animal lovers and that left me feeling so relaxed, knowing my pups were being loved and looked after. Definitely recommend!
A great and reliable service, can't recommend them enough!
