We met Ray and Terri a week before the sit and felt very at ease with them both. We knew straight away that our girls would be fine, they immediately took to them both. Ray very kindly took us to and from the station and even helped out with other things for our business which was so helpful. We got regular updates from him which was very reassuring. Ray also kindly agreed to stay on a few extra days as we had a wedding to attend. On our return, both dogs looked well and although they were very excited to see us they were not concerned when we disappeared again the next day in our Motorhome (to give Ray some peace) and leaving them in Ray's capable hands. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ray and Terri and hope they keep in touch.
Thank you both for looking after hades and for doing so with such short notice. The house was spotless and the communication was always quick. I will for sure invite them to look after Hades again.

I had no need to worry. Dillon my spaniel puppy adores Dawn and her dedicated staff. Genuine dog friendly people with a fountain of knowledge in all Canine care. Absolutely excellent.
My dogs have been going to Dawn’s kennels regularly for over a year now. The main sign that they are happy is when we arrive they pull and tug to get in! It’s a busy buzzy place and the staff are delightful
1 have 2 cockapoos with very different coats and the girls there groom them brilliantly! I know if I brush them they’ll get a beauty cut, and if I don’t then they need short all over to take off the matts and re grow the curls. I trust their judgement and my dogs are comfortable with them. Thanks for fitting me in at such short notice Hayley ❤️ I’d definately recommend, in fact I did to a lady with a black lab in kilrenny yesterday! Thanks ladies 😍
Always take my lhasa apso vinnie for a wash and trim, he doesn't usually let strangers pick him up, but he loves a visit to dawns. Never disappointed with the staff or the cut (even when I ask for somthing silly) , would always recommend Dawns
I will say that I don’t have my own dog here at dawns kennels but I do pick up my sisters dog Bruno up often. Every time I have gone to either pick him up or drop him off, the girls are amazing with him, very professional and caring, they know Bruno very well and knows what he likes and his dislikes which to my sister means a lot.
My dog went to the kennels for overnight stays and all his grooming. He absolutely loved all the girls, although he had a real soft spot for Emma! It was definitely his favourite place to go. The staff were genuinely upset when he passed away. I would never take my dog anywhere else. My new puppy shall be starting her day care visits as soon as her vaccinations are up to date. I would not take my dogs anywhere else and I certainly wouldn't let them board anywhere but Elie. If Dawn and her staff don't have space to keep my dog I don't go!
My dog looks absolutely beautiful wouldn’t use anyone else there great with her piper loves her visit to dawn! Thank you ladies 💜 …
My dog has been going K9 for over 3 years, both for grooming and using the kennels. I recommend them to everyone and wouldn’t consider putting my dogs anywhere else. My puppy is going to start going soon, along side my dog and I know that she will love it. All of the staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful with everything!
Bella absolutely loves it here for day care! Excited as soon as we pull into the drive. Always treated by staff as one of their own. Staff always able to give advice too on concerns. Bella also loves her pamper days. Visited a couple of places but this is the one Bella was most relaxed in. Thank you to all the staff.
We've used Dawn's kennels twice now, 1st visit was for a few days but this recent "doggy holiday" was a full week. Our dog Chip is so well looked after and has a great time with all the other dogs. I highly recommend K9 Grooming & Boarding and the wonderful staff!
Elaine was fantastic, my two cats went into the cattery for the first time for 9 days in the 5-6 years I have had them, both were very well looked after and had regular updates with pictures when asked how they were doing. Definitely going back in the future 😃😺 …
Elaine is dedicated to all her feline companions. I’m never concerned about leaving my cat Alistair when I travel down South. Elaine is a lovely, kind, friendly person. Cats are well cared within a clean and hygienic cattery.
Elaine takes wonderful care of all the cats that come to visit. I feel very reassured leaving my cat with her and it's a lovely clean environment with plenty of space. Definitely recommend!
Elaine looked after our 2 cats while we were away for a week and she did a fantastic job. Our cats don't get on together and needed separate cages. Their area was spotlessly clean and warm. They were very comfortable. Elaine gave them toys to play with and they did play with them which was a big surprise to us, as they don't play with anything at home. Definitely wouldn't go anywhere else.
Fabulous cattery! We were always happy to leave our cat with Elaine. She’s so lovely and is great with the kitties, so much so that our cat stuck close to her at pick up time and didn’t want to leave. She found it embarrassing but I thought it was the best sign! The cattery is clean and bright and all the enclosures have window sills with views. I hope we will find another cattery as good now we’ve moved.
I do not have words of appreciation and gratitude high enough! My three cats spent 2.5 months at Elaine’s Holiday Home when we moved abroad and before we were able to relocate them. I found them happy and relaxed, with lush coats and in perfect health. Elaine is the most amazing lady, very helpful and accommodating, and a absolutely lovely. Cannot recommend high enough! Once again thank you, Elaine!
Perfect cattery in a lovely peaceful area, owned and run by a caring, knowledgeable owner. Excellent, we have used this cattery for over 20 years.
Such a lovely, warm and welcoming place for cats to stay, highly recommend cats are very well looked after at all time by Elaine my cat enjoys staying here.
Lovely wee cattery, very clean and bright. The cats are safe, very well cared for and looked after. Would definitely come back to it.
Had my 2 cats in here for there holidays and the lady was very nice and toke care of them . Definitely be booking again when I go away .
Very happy with Ewan and Annie. Our dogs have stayed with them for a week before and were well cared for and happy. They always let us know well in advance of any holidays they may be taking and are good at getting in touch of either dog is not quite right. I would highly recommend Loch Leven Petcare!
Anne and Ewan checked in on our indoor cat while we were getting married over a weekend and they were brilliant. Kept us up to date every visit with photos of Rùm which put our minds at ease as we’d never left him on his own overnight before. Would definitely ask Anne and Ewan to look after him again. Thank you both.
Annie & Ewan have been walking our two dogs since they started, and they recently had them for a week while we went on our our first foreign holiday in years. Annie & Ewan have built a great relationship with our two, who can be challenging at times being rescues, so we had no qualms about leaving them there. We got daily updates and photos which put our minds at rest, and it is clear that the dogs love both the walks and staying over. Highly recommend them for their friendly, personal, caring approach, they are clearly dog people first and foremost.
Annie and Ewan have looked after our cat in our home a few times. Their service is superb. The updates of how she is getting on together with photos/videos is a great touch and loved by all of us. We will definitely be booking their services the next time we go away.
Our puppy went for a 4 night stay at Loch Leven Petcare and i felt so reaussred as the communication from them was great prior to her stay and whilst she was there, even sending lots of pictures. Absolutely amazing and we will definitely use Loch Leven Petcare again in the future. Highly reccomend. Thank you !
Annie and Ewan reassured us and kept us updated with pictures of Harry, when he stayed while we were on holiday. Even his yucky raw food was not a problem. He is a big dog and his tail can be quite a weapon, I understand he is a lot to take on and I over fuss but he genuinely seemed happy staying there, I was reassured by their experience of dogs.
No hesitation in recommending Loch Leven Petcare. From my initial enquiry they were professional but friendly too. I was looking for a week long holiday home for our young Cavapoo. They offered a couple of 'practice' nights away which put both me and my dog at ease. In fact my dog was obviously excited to be back when I dropped her off! I know they looked after her well, keeping her busy with walks and playtime. The updates and photos while we were away were an added bonus. I will definitely be using Annie and Ewan again.
We were looking for dog boarding for our dog Millie at short notice and over the Christmas period. Ewan and Anne were recommended to us on a Facebook community group and when we got in touch we found they were very helpful and friendly. They cared for Millie like she was their own and sent us plenty of updates and photos during her stay. We now use Loch Leven Petcare for regular walks and we couldn't be happier with the service. They even have a tracking tag they use on Millie's collar, so they can show us on a map how far she has ran on her walk! If you love your pet, you'll love these guys!
Had read some great reviews on the local community page and got in touch with Annie and Ewan. They replied very promptly with links to the forms we needed to fill in for Jack and Finn. What was so brilliant though was that they wanted to meet our dogs in their own home to get an idea of what they were like. Both Annie and Ewan spent a lot of time playing and talking to our boys, Ewan even sat on the floor whilst Finn jumped all over him. The boys had a great time and we were both so delighted that they were with a couple who really loved dogs. Already planning their next stay - Highly recommend...
We left Nellie with Annie and Ewan while we went to a wedding. It was our first visit to the area and we were a little concerned about leaving her, especially as she has not been left since the first lockdown. We needn’t have worried. We got updates about how she was settling and pictures. She got walked and cuddled and we are hoping to leave her again on our next visit.
Dogs absolutely loved it and took great care of them,think Misty and Skye be fine with us going on holiday now
Absolutely brilliant place and best for miles - believe me we’ve tried them. Morven and the team are excellent and love our dog like their own. I really can’t recommend highly enough.
Our dogs have been coming to Paw Prints since they were pups. Paw prints is a second home to our dogs’ & our boys always love going, I’m sure for all the long country walks & all the animal loving staff who work there. We have our dogs in for doggy day care and also for overnights too, which is always accommodated (us usually last minute requests by us!) We can’t rate paw prints any higher!
Brilliant place for piece of mind for your dogs all shapes and sizes to be well looked after and cared for with the experienced friendly staff here. Dog get walked well in the farm fields. Unfortunately my two wee dogs got kennel cough here. Even though I had them kennel cough vaccinated but it's just one of them things I suppose...
Absolutely fantastic find. The mutt always comes back exhausted, well walked and happy. All staff have good chat and clearly enjoy the pooches. Thanks for giving Hamish a hose down too: top service! x
If you like your dog outside running in the fields and splashing in muddy water with other dogs then this is the place for it. All staff are extremely caring, helpful and enthusiastic. We have used them for overnight and day care and found these kennels to be excellent.
Great doggy day care. Fabulous location. Staff who really care. Best thing is our dog gets to share a kennel with a variety of other dogs which is so important for socialisation with other dogs and also all the different people who drop off and collect. It doesn't get better. Our dog goes because she loves it!
Love these kennels. These are people who really understand dogs and have such a unique way of doing things. I picked Ziva up just as they came back from a walk one day and she was covered in mud from running around the field but normally when I pick her up slightly later she is nice and clean as they do wash them after walks. And even though she had not yet been washed she did not have that nasty kennel smell. And no, it is not squalid as someone else commented, the kennels are nice and clean and heated at night but the area around it can be rather muddy as it is on a farm and it is in Scotland....it rains a lot. I feel totally at ease leaving my dog at Paw Prints, she is well looked after and gets socialised which she really needs.
My daughter took her dog with her to sus the place out as she needs to put her dog in kennels for a couple of weeks, she seemed well impressed by the facilities and the freedom the dogs have.
Dropped my dog off for one nights stay, She was not left where I asked her to be, I asked for her to be left in the small concrete cells as she is a timid dog you moved her to the loud over crowded cell. You did not feed her the right amount of food, you over her fed her by two portions so did not listen when you asked me about my dog and her needs. You allowed her bed to be ruined by not drying her off after her supposed 'long walk' therefor the bed was damp and stunk of dirt. When we picked her up her bone was left in a puddle of dirty water not with my dog which I retrieved myself. My first time leaving my dog in a kennels and I will not be doing it again. You pay £13 to lock you dog up in a dirty concrete box for 24 hrs. She has come out barking at other dogs which she has never done before. I reccomend you dont rely on the 5* reviews of any kennel especially this one.
I have used Veronica’s dog walking and dog daycare services for in excess of eight years. The service is fantastic. Megan loves going to meet all her doggie friends and loves Veronica. The dogs get a variety of walks and activities. Veronica has a lovely approach and bond with all the dogs and is so dependable. Highly recommend About A Dog.
Veronica is a dog whisperer! She looked after my German Shepherd for a week and when i took him back he was totally chilled, had learned new training and walked so much better on the lead! She treats the dogs like her own and clearly loves her job. Cant recommend her highly enough!
Veronica has been walking our dog Bear twice a week for the last 4 years. We have also boarded Bear with her on several occasions. Bear loves her walks with Veronica - we are completely happy with the service and would highly recommend Veronica to anyone.
Veronica was great with my dog. It was the first time she had been away from me overnight and she came back happy. She was also tired after a long rural walk and had great fun socialising with the other dogs.
An excellent service. Veronica has been a great adviser to me in relation to training my dog. Nothing is a problem to her, and the dog loves being with her.
Our dogs have been walked by Veronica for many years. She is warm, friendly and is professional in going about her job. We would highly recommend.
I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else, Veronica is a genuine dog lover and ours love staying with her. They sometimes seem a little reluctant to come back with us!
Fantastic operator. Has a very friendly manner with my dogs. Flexible and reliable. Top draw.
My dogs love their walks with About a Dog and always come home with waggy tails.
Lovely & genuine dog lover who provides a first class service. Highly recommend
