Pav and the family were absolutely precious! ❤ They easily welcomed me into their home with so much love and happiness. Clear instructions were given and Pav went on the first walk with me to make sure I knew the walking paths well 😊 Frank and Barry were the best pals 🐶🐕 They have a lot of fun playing together and love cuddles! Barry can feel worried about all of the cars for the first part of the walk, but once you are away from the traffic, Barry will happily walk around. Treats are their favorite things 😆 This is truly a wonderful family and anyone would be extremely lucky to meet them! 💗
What a lovely sit and it ticked the boxes in every regard! Two lovely cats who were great company as were Angela and Chris to the point that I was sorry to see them leave for their trip😀Communication was always quick and the Welcome Guide comprehensive. Chris kindly picked me up after a shop at Wareham and arranged for me to be dropped back there at the sit end. The house is bright and inviting as were the hosts. There is a nice garden and the hosts keep bees and I learnt some fascinating facts about them. Church Knowle is a quiet village with a friendly pub (no shop) and some great walks in every direction. This sit would suit a sitter with a car, a sitter who loves walking, or a sitter who, well, just likes to sit! I like to walk and walked the ridge into Corfe with its atmospheric castle, and picked up the bus from there to Swanage. I walked into Wareham and back (farmers market Friday) which is a varied 10 miles return; and I set out to walk to Kimeridge but swung a lift both ways with the same person! Kimeridge is famous for its fossil beach and must visit fossil museum and right across from there is a nice cafe that was buzzing even in January! As I say this was a class sit and I thoroughly recommend it at any time of the year. Thanks for inviting me and give those lovely cats a stroke from me! All the best
We absolutely loved house-/ petsitting for Bec & Zacc, the communication was very easy and instructions very clear. The apartment was so nice and clean and thanks to Bec & Zacc we felt very homey from the first day, the location is just a dream!😊 but the highlight of our stay was Poppy, we fell in love with her the moment we met, she is so lovely and well-behaved, we‘re going to miss our walks and evenings on the couch 💙 Thank you guys again for such a great time in Brisbane 🫶🏼
We had a wonderful time here. The home was adorable, comfortable, and very well kept. Erwin and Alex were great to work with and we’re so laid back which is always nice. But our time was really about Steeno and that boy stole our hearts. He’s a big dog, but he is easy to walk, does well with children and likes to cuddle. He was a bit nervous with my 6 year old but within minutes they were playing, wrestling and lounging together. Steeno is a sweet heart of a dog and is very well behaved. We have nothing but rave reviews!
I had a great experience staying at Charlotte’s place! The apartment was well located and beautiful, and Mali was a sweetheart. He’s full of kitten energy but also loves a cuddle. I’ll miss him! Communication was always great too. Thank you 🙏
Laura was welcoming, helpful, and a kind host. Gaba was a good boy who loves to play and gets very excited about food. The apartment was very comfortable and in close proximity to the metro making it easy to get around Madrid. I would recommend this sit with no hesitation. Thank you Laura.

My dog has been going here since August 2020, I highly recommend Annas ark pet care, I chose this place due to the amount off area the dog's have to play. Anna and her partner are so friendly, my dog gets so excited to see them that he runs in and doesn't even look back, they treat all the dogs as thier own and are part of thier family. They will ALWAYS try their best to accommodate your needs, nothing is never to much to ask. I highly recommend them, i for sure wil not be taking my dog anywhrre else.
Our boy has been going to Anna’s Ark since he was around 8 months old. He’s grown in confidence since attending and is now so excited in the car when he realises he’s off there for a play. Knowing how nervous I was about leaving him, Anna would send me messages and videos in the early days to let me know how great he was doing and how much fun he was having with the other dogs. Anna, Stu and Helen are so upbeat and positive; genuinely enjoying their jobs, with their love for our pups always apparent. They are happy to offer their advice and support too. Anna has kept in contact when our boy has been poorly; offering her support, love and guidance, which I have found very touching and have very much appreciated.
Anna and Stu are now a huge part of our dogs life! You can see the joy when he’s getting collected for his weekly playtime. They are incredibly caring and always on hand for help and advice. Could not recommend a more caring wonderful dog loving family! You can guarantee you’ll have a happy pup with Anna and Stu ⭐️
Anna's Ark offers a brilliant service. Luna joined the family in 2020, the most beautiful Goldie ever, but due to lockdown procedures, normal socializing was difficult. Going to Anna's sorted the issues, Anna, Stuart & Helen are brilliant with the dogs, treating them as though they are their own. The care and love Luna ❤️ received was second to none. I would highly recommend Anna's Ark. Luna is always excited to go. Thankyou.
Anna, Stu and Helen looked after our dog for over a year and she absolutely loved going there. We received videos from them so we could see how happy she was running around and playing with the other dogs. She was always excited to go every day and we could relax knowing she was happy and well cared for. I think any dog that gets the opportunity to go to Anna's Ark is a very lucky one.
I can't fault Anna's Ark it's our little cockapoo's second home and she absolutely loves it! She's gone to here since she was a puppy and from day one shes loved Anna and the team. Brilliant at communicating and keeping you up to date with things and when we've needed some last minute or extra days they have been brilliant with fitting our pup in (bonus with drop off's and pick ups especially now we have another baby in the family) also Helen being a dog trainer and getting in some lessons to help through the puppy stage helped us out so much! And then the socialising with other dogs at the Ark has done wonders for our girl. Would give more than 5 stars if I could, just can't recommend enough.
My dog has been going to Anna every week day for the last 6 months. Anna and her team are 100% brilliant. I can't thank them enough! They love my dog, and I feel totally happy knowing that he has a brilliant exhaustive time, under the care of people that care for and look out for him. Recently he's been a bit poorly and they've been awesome helping me (practically and emotionally!!). Please don't stop what you do! Love Em and Ron x
Our cockapoo Nelly previously went to another daycare for a half-day trial - she whined and cried the entire four hours she was there and we were told we needed to take her to a doggy psychologist. Turns out, we just needed to take her to Anna’s Ark! Anna worked with Nelly to build up her time spent at daycare gradually and was so patient and loving with her. Nelly now gets so excited when she she realises where we are going. She often doesn’t want to leave Anna, Stu and Helen. The socialising with other dogs has been amazing for her confidence and she greets and plays with dogs so much more calmly and politely now. I could not recommend Anna’s Ark more.
Anna is the best dog sitter ever! She is reliable, trustworthy and punctual and our dog loves her to bits! He has a fantastic time when she has him and comes home absolutely exhausted! He goes into crazy puppy mode every time she comes to pick him up and we know he is safe with her. We work long hours and our son is at school so Anna’s is the perfect place for a chewy Labrador to let off some steam and not eat the whole house! We love Anna and really don’t know how we would manage without her.
From the very first contact Anna was so helpful, fitting Bella our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of 8 months into her schedule on exactly the day and times needed. I have had so many helpful tips on feeding and nothing is too much trouble. Bella absolutely loves it at Anna’s from her morning welcome cuddle with Stu she enjoys every moment playing with the other dogs at Anna’s Ark coming home tired and happy! I can’t recommend this wonderful place highly enough.
My dog have been going to Coastal kennels for the almost 13 years and I would not send my dogs anywhere else.
My Basset hound goes here numerous times a year and absolutely loves it. My daughter and I have just left 3 dogs for a few days and they have been treated like royalty. I had used different kennels years ago and was very dissatisfied but have no hesitation leaving my old dog here or recommending it to anyone. They really love the dogs and go the extra mile for them.
Benson loved it here! For our first time ever leaving a dog in day care, we could not have chosen a better place. Debbie and her team clearly love their work and take great care of their canine visitors. We are only sorry we don't live closer - but if you live in the area or are visiting the area on holiday, Coastal Kennels gets our vote and you can leave your beloved pet here with confidence and total peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of Benson for us!
Absolutely fabulous care for our Puppy, Mollie. Debbie was very keen to find out all about Mollie in terms of her food regime, sleep, exercise needs, favourite toys and her individual needs. From the moment we left Mollie, we felt assured she’d be left in the best possible care and Debbie didn’t disappoint. Mollie was looked after so well, she jumped on Stuart’s knee for cuddles and stayed by Debbies side throughout her time there. We know she had the best time during her stay with lots of photos and updates and we wouldn’t hesitate to bring her back time and again. A fabulous stay!
Monty loves going to stay for his holidays. Always comes back very happy. I would recommend Coastal Kennels to anyone!
Fantastic kennels, they are the only ones that I would trust with my dogs. Highly recommended
Very friendly service and easy to arrange day care whilst we cycled the Tarka trail.
Brilliant service every time. Very friendly staff can't praise enough.
Great service, very friendly and caring staff.
Finally found somewhere we can leave our furbabies and they are happt
Used Beech Tree twice now and can't recommend them enough. Both our dogs love it up there, they can't wait to get there and look happy and healthy when we pick them back up. The kennels are spacious and the paddocks are huge and very secure which gives us peace of mind as one of our dogs is a bit of an escape artist! The staff are friendly and always give us updates when we are away including photos and videos which is an added bonus. Will definitely use these kennels again and thanks to all the staff there 😀
We used the enclosed dog field a couple of times while on holiday in south Milton. A great place for our dog to run around for a couple of hours. Has the bonus of a shelter for humans too.
Lucy my young mad rescue boxer is just home from a week's stay. She loved her time there and didn't really want to come home to Westward Ho! Now thinking of bringing her with her brother for the odd day away. Thanks everyone for looking after Lucy and her first stay in kennels xx We have now used the kennels 3 times with a visit in July 2023 booked. Lucy loves it and seems to have lots of fun. Staff are lovely and there is an excellent range of enclosed paddocks.
We always use Beech Tree when we go away. The dogs always seem happy on collection and they are always very good at checking any special requirements, with a large selection of different food choices, luckily we have labradors that eat anything. They also have a new play field you can rent by the hour (separate from the kennels) to exercise and train your dogs in which is great fun for them.
What can I say this is my dogs idea of heaven. Good shelter if wet just a shame some don't pick thier dog pooh up but this is not Beech Trees fault. Overall a lovely secure field and well worth the money.
We always feel safe leaving our dogs (4) here, there is plenty of running space for them. They also feed raw meat if needed.
My 3 fur babies love the staff & the paddock to run freely! (But not too freely so they can escape). They were conked for days after! Well kept place ❤️
Nikki always seems happy here. She clearly loves the staff and on pick up day usually totally ignores me and runs into the office for fusses from the ladies instead. 🤣 …
I've had dogs for years and I have never found a better place for my dog other than at home. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Great kennels, good sized kennels for your dogs and large paddocks for them to burn off energy. I never worry about my dogs while I am away and they seem to enjoy themselves too.
We thought having a dog in the throws of adolescence as bridesmaid for our big day was going to be challenging but having Ashleigh there chaperoning her not only made it possible, but made it easy & stress free. From our first contact we felt like Daisy would be in good hands. Ashleigh spent time chatting with us in the run up to the wedding finding out as much as she could about our dog as well as visiting the wedding venue to scope it out. We were able to relax fully knowing that Daisy was covered. I had lots of compliments from my family about how good Ashleigh was with her. Everyone was very impressed! Having a dog wedding chaperone was one of the best things we could have done to help our day go smoothly. Thank you Ashleigh. If I could give you 10 stars I would!!
We cannot praise Whiskers and Tails highly enough. Ashleigh puts so much thought into her work and always puts the animals welfare and development first. Benji always enjoys his walks and is so much more confident and calmer when around others dogs.
Ashleigh went above and beyond when she took care of both our cats. She always updated us to let us know how they were getting on, and took photos to send to us. We could tell how settled and happy they were and when we returned, and they appeared to be very calm and content cats. Thank you! Will definitely call upon you again when we are next away.
Ashleigh is great with our boys. Especially considering one is a younger big dog and the other small and older. So despite then having mixed needs they always come back really satisfied. Ashleigh is really reliable and just lovely to chat with
Clover (my 11 month old Dalmatian) absolutely loves Ashleigh, and I trust Ashleigh completely with Clover. I highly recommend Whisker and Tails to anyone looking for a fantastic dog walker in North Devon.
Ashleigh is so kind, attentive and knowledgeable. She walks our dogs regularly and they love it. I highly recommend her! She is great with all dogs, including rescues with issues.
Brilliant service which our cats adored. So much so they didn’t want us back! Ashleigh provides a flexible service to tailor to your needs. Loved the photo updates while we were away and knowing they were well looked after. Thank you!
Ash is awesome, our dog loves going out with her each week and I know I can fully trust her - she's helped our dog grow and become a confident, bouncy girl!
Ashleigh is fantastic, best decision I made. Would 💯 recommend to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable dog walker. …
❤️
This field is a lifesaver! Since we started to bring our boy there, he's been such a chilled dog! The space is massive, all fenced, and Charlotte still offers you free poo bags, toys and treats. Our baby boy loves to go there and also us! It's always fun our time in the field!
Our dogs have been staying at Trixie paws from its very start. Since our buddy and Betty passed away we had a pup who has been going to Trixie paws since she was six months old and it has been a second home for her. I know she is safe, well cared for, stimulated, socialised and probably having more fun than us. Charlotte keeps us up to date on what she has been upto. They stay in a beautiful, cosy home as one of the family. Only problem is the sulking we have to cope with when they have to leave. Pippa loves Trixie Paws and so do we.
We had an amazing time. Rides for all ages. Kept lovely and clean and the staff there were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Super friendly to owners and dogs. Great service and helped us out while we were on holiday. 5 stars all the way.
Took my two dogs here for the first time the other day will definitely be a regular visitor perfect environment right on my doorstep and a very reasonable price
Brilliant dog field, thanks Charlotte we'll be booking again x x 🐾 …
Charlotte, has great facilities to walk and give your dog a good exercise.
Stress free dog walking! 🐕 …
Used Happy Tails several times to look after our pack of six dogs and three tortoises and we can't fault their service! Last time our female was pregnant but we was kept up to date with pictures and messages and didn't have to worry at all. Our animals was very calm and happy on our return and a lot less stressed as they was kept to their routine, far better than if they had been put in a kennel! We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top class service, we already have them booked to come again next times we are away.
I have used Happy Tails Dog Walking now on a number of occasions. They have stayed in our home to look after the cats while we have been away. We have daily updates which put our mind at rest. One of the cats is very shy but he was comfortable with Tawny and Jordan. We have always come home to an immaculate house and happy well looked after cats. I will be using them again. Thank you for your help xx
We used Happy Tails for the first time very recently. I can’t thank Jordan and Tawny enough. My two cats are very nervous of strangers. Jordan came twice a day to feed and take care of my two cats and the wild birds etc while away for a few days. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you both so much, taking care of the cats and our homes and ensuring everything was ok. Very very pleased and as soon as I need help again looking after everything I will definitely ask you both again. Very fair pricing as well. Wishing you both lots of luck with your business. Thank you. Tracey & Malcolm, Alfie & Rupert. 😊👍🏻.
We highly recommend Happy Tails. They are very reliable and caring. Gwen our rescue Greyhound loves going for her daily walks. She is very well looked after by both Tawny and Jordan.
Jordan and Tawny are fab - professional, reliable, good communication. Our dog Molly loves them and we thoroughly recommend them to everyone! We're just sad to have moved out of their area!
My cat Charile is very wary of new people but the pet sitter was very friendly and he warmed to him straight away. I've used them to sit for my cat and dog and they have always been very attentive. It's nice that the sitter gives me daily updates of my pets well beinging. It makes me feel less anxious about being away from them. Would highly recommend. 😊
What a lifesaver!! Family health scare. Jordan rushes in to help and deal with our two elderly and fussy Labrador’s. Flexible, diligent and trustworthy. Handed him our house keys and 2 dogs with no notice and he rose to the challenge. Highly recommended. We’ll be using again. Definitely.
Really great with the dogs, friendly and fairly priced
Fantastic and reliable service! Thank you Tawny and Jordan
Very reliable and friendly dog walker and boarder. Lee provides an excellent pick up and drop off service. Our border terrier is always excited to see Lee and clearly enjoys his days out and overnight stays.
I have known Kim since she was very small, and her loving caring nature makes her the perfect choice, I have complete trust and confidence in her ability to care for your furry friends. Wishing you all the best in your new business adventure 😍😍xxx
I gave my Bichon a doggy care day with Kim. He was very happy there. He had 2 walks and lots of love and cuddles. I have booked him in again next week.. Thanks Kim..
Cookie enjoys going! Great service!
I was nervous about asking someone into our home and to care for our boy whilst we were away for a few days. I should not have worried. Alison came to the house and met us all and got to know our dog and was very friendly. I received photographs and updates on how he was and they showed him on walks and being very settled at home, which meant we could relax and enjoy our time away with no worries. We came home to a very happy boy and a report on how he had been whilst we were away, which was also informative and showed how Alison was interested in finding out his ways and ensuring he was also settled and not anxious without us. I cannot recommend her enough and we will be asking her again and again to care for our boy in the future. Thank you. Anne
I cannot rate Alison enough, she helped us out at the last moment when we were going on holiday. She was friendly and informative when she visited for introductions and we felt instantly happy and reassured that she would look after our dogs. Her passion and care for looking after dogs was evident to see and how much she loved dogs!! We had regular updates and photos when we were away and was able to enjoy and relax on our holiday knowing Alison was at our home caring for my two. My two absolutely loved Alison and she will be their friend forever ❤️. If you want an experienced, committed and caring dog sitter, Alison is your person! We will be using her services ongoing and feel so happy we found her! Thank you so much Alison xx Michelle, Paul- Victor and Horace
Amazing care and communication throughout the whole dog sit. Both our dogs love Alison! I couldn’t recommend anyone better
Dave looked after our 4 dogs whilst we got married and I cannot recommend Barnfield pets highly enough. This was our first time leaving our dogs in someone other than families care so we were a little nervous, but on meeting Dave & Sue, all of our worries disappeared! We received photo updates of the girls looking very relaxed and they were very well looked after whilst we were gone. The booking process was very easy and Alison was lovely to speak with. Thank you very much Barnfield Pets ❤️.
We have just had Alison of Barnfield Pet Services looking after our three dogs and our home for nearly a month. We cannot speak too highly of the service provided. This was the first time we had left our dogs, and we were concerned how they would react. We were reassured by daily reports and pictures and it was clear that they were enjoying the care and attention being provided. On our return, the dogs and our home were in excellent shape and we wil not hesitate to use Barnfield Pet Services in the future. Highly recommended! Thank you from both of us and from Ben, Dash and Viva.
We contacted Alison at Barnfield Pet Services looking for a last minute wedding chaperone for our dog. Alison was super helpful & connected us with lovely Pam who came and looked after our dog at our wedding. We had great communication with Pam & Alison before our wedding planning our day. On the day Pam arrived early, and took our dog for a long walk before sprucing him up to come to our ceremony & to be a part of our photos! We didnt have to worry about our dog on the day, Pam had it all in control & we knew he was in great hands. We would recommend Barnfield Pet Services to everyone & wouldn't hesitate to use again for pet services in the future.
Kevin looked after our dogs at our wedding and I cannot recommend him and Barnfield Pet Services enough. He was incredibly conscientious leading up to the ceremony, checking in on all the details and very concerned about making sure the dogs (and we) were comfortable. On the day of he did an amazing job taking care of them. Everything ran smoothly from getting them in their outfits to making sure they were fed, hydrated and happy. He even took the time to interact with the children at our wedding, letting them play with the dogs and teaching them how to interact with animals as one had a fear of dogs. We could not have been more impressed. Having him there to take care of the dogs was one of the best decisions we made. Barnfield were also amazing in getting everything organised quickly, clearly and easily. They provided incredibly prompt and thorough responses to all our questions and the process of getting everything sorted was very easy. I As a dog owner having someone you can trust to take care of the dogs on your big day, bring them over to you for visits, and then take them away to have fun until the next one is a dream. If that's what you are looking for, book Kevin with Barnfield!
Barnfield Pet Services has given our family a Fantastic service. Beth stayed in our home for 2 weeks and looked after our dog and cat. She was absolutely brilliant and sent us pictures and videos of them regularly and they were so happy. We felt comfortable and had peace of mind every second. When we got back home they were perfectly fine and our house was immaculate. I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after them and we would definitely ask her to come back in the future.
We can't fault our experience of Barnfield Pet Services and our lovely sitter Karen. From my first tentative enquiry Alison answered all my questions and was genuinely interested in our dogs. Karen arrived exuding calm common sense and our two girls loved her! We had a relaxed couple of days away and never once found ourselves fretting. Karen kept us well informed. We're looking forward to our next break with confidence. Thank you.
The second time we have used Barnfield Pet Services and very happy once again. Our dogs love Debbie and we felt totally reassured leaving them in her care for 10 days.
Took great care of our precious dog Freddie and our house for two weeks and we had great communication from start to finish with Running Duck which put us at ease. We were kept up to date with photos and updates which was so lovely. He especially loved his walks and playtime with Glenn, and we could see they had really bonded. They really do look after your pet and home as their own. The house was kept safe, clean and garden watered too which was so appreciated. Don’t hesitate to book Running Duck for your next trip away you and your pets will be very glad you did. Thanks again Glenn and Mandy for everything.
Another brilliant house/dog sit! Thank you so much. We relax so much more knowing our pup is having his own adventures with Jenny and George. They are the perfect house guests and incredibly caring and trustworthy. See you again next year! Xxxxx
Having both retired, we planned a once in a lifetime 6 week trip to Australia, but were very anxious about leaving our pets, particularly our dear dog Barley. Jenny juggled schedules in order to fit around our dates, so that Glenn and Mandy were able to cover the whole of the time. They took excellent care of our home, our cat Chip's, and our precious boy, communicating with us regularly via WhatsApp, attaching pics and videos to reassure us.
Glenn & Mandy were excellent pet sitters. They visited us before our trip to meet us and our two spaniels. While we were away they kept in touch with photos & videos. We returned to two happy dogs who had been very well looked after. We have booked Glenn & Mandy again for next year and Jenny for our autumn trip. Highly recommended.
Instantly took to everyone concerned at the Running Duck Pet Services. Jenny is incredible at communicating and arranging cover, and Glenn and Mandy are fabulous with all our pets. We see the delight when they arrive on our Pugs faces, and it's non stop love, care, attention and frolics from the minute they arrive. We are kept up to date with pictures and communication daily whilst we are away. The Running Ducks are our absolute favourites, and they are now part of the family. All of them are such lovely genuine people. Highly recommend, although don't book them up too much please, as we need them free to cover our pets!!!
We would highly recommend Glen and Mandy. Our English Foxhound is a rescue and can get worried when new people first come to the house, so we were a little apprehensive at someone coming to stay. Glen and Mandy kindly came over one morning before the holiday and in no time Buddy was wagging his tail and Glen was his new best friend. From then on, we felt confident that Buddy would be very happy with them and we were right. Just back from holiday and Buddy has had a great week, with lovely walks, games and being spoilt and is his happy, relaxed self. Thank you for understanding our boy.
Glenn and Mandy looked after our 2 dogs and cat for 10 days. One of our dogs takes medication twice daily so it was important to us to feel comfortable with the people looking after them. Straight away Glenn put us at ease, he discussed everything we would need and reminded us of things we had not even considered, ie informing vets etc. We got daily updates from Mandy, enough to ensure our minds were at ease but timed perfectly so as not to bombard us during our time away. Our plants are in better condition than when we left due to Glenn's green fingers. Cannot recommend them enough, and have already booked next year's holiday!
We recently nipped off for some sun, leaving our two Lardy Labs in the very capable hands of Running Duck. This is our second trip since moving to Wiltshire and because Glenn was already booked, George came up from Dartmoor to attend to their every need 😆 We got regular photos of their hikes and chill out sessions, but we never worry about them when away as we know how much love and attention they are showered with. The house is always clean and tidy on our return, which is an added bonus. We would not hesitate to recommend Running Duck for not only your Fur Babies, but your home too.
This was the first time we had left our 2 year old lab overnight and we were apprehensive, mainly due to her suffering occasional seizures and needing daily meds, but from the start Jenny was great, she put our minds at ease. Communication was clear and responses speedy. Skye warmed to Glenn quickly and we have felt confident in booking a holiday for next year, so thank-you Running duck services, we would highly recommend Glenn & Mandy :)
Another wonderful experience. Able to enjoy a lovely family holiday knowing our home, and most precious family animal members were safe and in good hands. Glen sent us lovely picture updates and kept our entire menagerie happy. Thank you.
My Dog is extremely happy to see the staff at the Kennels. He doesn’t even look back at us when they take him so i know he’s happy and very well looked after. He’s a regular👍 Highly recommend the place …
Faithful Friends looked after our 3 dogs really well for over two weeks whilst we were out of the country. We have booked them in again for an upcoming trip. Good service and they seemed pretty contented
Easy drop off and collection. Staff very friendly and reassuring, I felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs for 12 days. Dogs in great condition when we picked them up, clearly they have been well looked after during their stay. Would definitely use these kennels again and recommend to people looking to board their dogs.
Found the booking process quite confusing as communication was very limited. The actual place was beautiful but someone came out and just took our dog as soon as we pulled up and took him up to the kennels. No questions, didn’t even ask what food he has or anything which made me feel a bit uneasy. They were friendly enough but just quick to just take the dog without a proper booking in process. My dog was extremely stressed when we picked him up but we obviously had no idea if he had actually been walked at any point, what he had been fed or even how often but once he’d been home for around a week he started to settle back in.
Faithful friends is a lovely, well run kennels. I booked my Labrador, Buddy in for a 12 night stay & exchanged a number of emails with Alan about the stay & they were answered quickly & the booking made. I dropped him off in the morning & had no worries about his welfare at all. Professionalism & care for the animals is evident right from my first interaction. I collected him after my holiday & he was in good spirits, pleased to see me, but not desperately pleased that might indicate he'd been stressed, he was in good condition & they'd looked after him very well. I'd have no hesitation in using them again and can highly recommend to others needing to kennel their dogs. A very well run kennel with professional & friendly staff Top marks from me.
Will always use these guys! The dogs never have an issue going here
Not kenneled the dogs there yet but checked it all out and booked them in. Impressed with their approach and professionalism. There's always someone on site 24/7. 30/08/2022 …. Kennelled our three doggies here twice now. Our original positive review stands 100%. Now booked them back in for a weekend in December.
Our dogs have been here several times now and always come back both happy and healthy. It's a great place run by people who love and understand dogs, even the nervous and awkward ones. You couldn't ask for better really, five star rating is only because I can't rate higher.
Really let me down. I was very specific on calling to book that my puppy had not had his kennel cough but I would get it done. This was 13 days beforehand. On the morning I was leaving I realised that kennel cough had to be 14 days beforehand. Its a shame as this place comes highly recommended, but that incompetent conversation and booking could have cost me over a thousand pounds in hotel bookings etc had my daughter not stepped in.
Our 5 dogs have visited several times. The owners are total animal lovers and give special care and all the attention that all boarding dogs.appreciate It is a lovely country location so everyone has plenty of exercise whatever the weather. I would have no hesitation in telling all my friends about Faithful Friends Kennels.The kennels are heated and any special diet is willingly catered for.
