Vicki was a generous and so helpful pet owner.she picked me up from airport.she also drove me to the supermarket for my supplies as I don’t drive.her friend was very kind to me as well.ziggy was a beautiful boy who liked his cuddles.
It was my first petsit via this app and it was amazing. Elisabeth left very clear instructions on the cats daily routines. Duties were to clean litter box and feedback and of course playing with them which is rather a pleasure than a duty. Apartment was well-equipped and clean. Elisabeth was very polite and caring for my stay.
I stayed a couple of days with Lily & Cooper, they are so sweet. Cooper was really shy at the beginning, then he calm down, unfortunately I couldn't take him out on walks, nevertheless, Scott & Patrick have a back yard where he can go potty. In the other hand, Lily was my adventure partner, we went to the beach, Sutro Baths and Lands End Trail, she is really sweet and calm, the neighborhood is really cool, the sunrises and sunsets are amazing! I met Scott and Patrick a couple of days before their trip, they are really nice people, they helped me with some doubts during their trip, thank you again Scott & Patrick!
We had an amazing experience staying in Jason and Carin's lovely home. Sasha and Nutmeg are the sweetest, cuddliest cats imaginable and we enjoyed every second with them. Jason and Carin were very kind and welcoming. Their house is extremely comfortable, clean and cozy and has a beautiful yard. Everything was perfect. We hope to have the opportunity to sit for them again one day :)

My dog Lulu can be a bit tricky and with my wedding coming up, my usual carers won't be available. So I turned to Home From Home Dog Boarding to start building a connection with a capable carer. We were introduced to Monika and Alessandro who turned out to be more than perfect. They have great experience with bigger and stronger dogs. Lulu had a great weekend and I didn't worry once whilst I was away for the weekend. They sent great updates and took Lulu out for day trips and were so accommodating when plans changed and I needed to pick her up later than planned. She had a great time and is already booked in for more holidays and I can know that I can focus on my wedding next year and not worry about Lulu enjoying herself as well!
We have used home from boarding twice now and both times they have been excellent. We have you two different carers for our dog Skye and both times they have been brilliant! Keeping us updated with messages and photos both times. This is a great peace of mind that your dog is safe and in great hands. Please pass on our thanks to Maddie for all her efforts on the last stay. Thanks again home from home boarding
Ive used Home from Home dog boarding for years now and can honestly say they are the best. The usual carer they went to wasn’t available so they stayed with Natalie and her husband H. Such a lovely couple, who adore dogs and have lots of experience. I got daily updates and went away knowing they’re being looked after. If anything happens to one of them there’s 24 hour support from Home from Home. Staff in the office are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
amazing couple Pam & John looked after my anxious girl. She had such a lovely time she was unsure about coming home!! Thank you for a perfect couple who I woukd trust again.
I had a tricky challenge to sort. Having secured a hard won place on a round the world yacht race who could look after my precious pup for months? I found the answer with Home from Home. They were 110% helpful and supportive from the moment I contacted them. The person they found to look after my dog was wonderful and took the very best care of her. All watched over by the Home from Home team. Thank you all for your wonderful service. I highly recommend them.
We cannot thank Home from Home Boarding, and especially Nicola, enough for the amazing care she provided for our 7-month-old dachshund puppy, Remi! This was our first time leaving her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The company was incredibly efficient and quick to get in touch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Knowing that Remi was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared for her and gave her undivided love and attention 24/7 was such a relief. Nicola was FANTASTIC! She made us feel so comfortable from the start and kept us updated with the most lovely ‘pupdates’ that brightened our days while we were away. It was clear how much Nicola cared for Remi, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, if anything Remi has been returned better behaved than when we left! We highly recommend Home from Home Boarding and Nicola to anyone needing a trusted and caring home from home for their furry family member. Thank you so much! 🌟🐾
First time using Home from Home Boarding for my boy. Morris was placed with a lovely couple who treated him like he was there own. This made my holiday worry free knowing he was in safe hands. Will definitely be using again . Thank you Joyce and Dave.
This is the second time Eddie and Vera have looked after Tiago and despite there being a year in between stays he was so excited to see them and return to their home. It is so reassuring for my wife and I to know that he is happy and well cared for by them and we are very grateful that he too had a wonderful holiday! Thank you Eddie and Vera! The Home From Home booking experience is straightforward and easy and we are very happy that it provided us with great carers for our dog.
Excellent, efficient and friendly service from Home from Home. The lady they found for us (Pat) is delightful. So lovely with our dogs and has a beautiful garden which they loved. Can highly recommend, thank you.
We visited the family first before committing to the booking, and that made us confident our dog would be in safe hands and well looked after. We delivered the dog with all the bedding, food, toys, meds, treats. And when we collected her after the boarding, it's clear there was an affectionate bond between the dog and the family (both ways). She was very well cared for, and I'd say she had a fantastic time. Wendy send us a few photos over WhatsApp too — lovely to see. Will be booking again next year.
My miniature cavapoo has stayed twice now at posh dog boarding and I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more! Their communication is wonderful and constantly sending you updates. I am an anxious dog mum but posh dog boarding puts me at ease as I know my dog is safe, very well looked after and having a lot of fun.
So glad we found Posh Dog Boarding, we were so nervous after a past experience with a local Kennel. We shouldn’t have worried as the second we arrived they made us feel at ease, we had videos sent twice and Ziggy had a lovely time playing with the other dogs, he’s looking forward to coming coming back in the Summer in July for a couple of weeks. He enjoyed the journey home too 🤣
My shy little dog really enjoyed her stay! This place is so perfect for her, she really enjoyed her holiday and made lots of new friends. Posh dogs you are amazing 🏆 can’t thank you enough! …
Posh Dog Boarding has been a saving grace. The staff are professional and my dog adored being there. With his most recent stay, my dog has become more social and almost refused to come home he loved his stay so much. We got constant updates and when I mentioned it was his birthday during his stay, Posh Dog Boarding made his day special. My miniature dog always looks happy and healthy on the video updates and when we go to collect him. I would definitely recommend Posh Dog Boarding to anyone.
The first time my 10 year old fur baby was left in a kennel! Well I’m delighted to say she’s still a happy bouncy little ball of fluff! Thank you to everyone who took such great care of her including Emily who took her on walks. Everyone made sure she was warm & even out her little coat on when she went out side! Thank you & happy holidays x
We have been using Posh Dog Boarding for several years, our two dogs has always loved the staff, and are wagging their tails at every drop off, something that is very heart warming for any dog owner, especially when one of our dogs is very scared normally. The staff are always kind to share videos throughout the stay which is always so comforting. Warmly recommend!
We were anxious to find a nice place for our miniature dachshund Bailey to stay while we were on holiday. We saw Posh Dog Boarding online and loved the look of the place and the great reviews. We went over and met Carolina who was very welcoming and she gave us a tour which we loved. The place looked spotlessly clean, well run and with a nice room and area for each guest. Another thing that appealed to us is they only take a small number of dogs at one time so it’s not crowded. Carolina sent us plenty of video updates during Bailey’s stay and he always looked happy interacting with the other guests and was made a nice fuss of. We also booked 4 walks during his stay which he really enjoyed and also got video updates of those. We would really like to thank Carolina and all the staff at Posh Dog Boarding for taking such great care of our little boy and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for nice safe clean friendly boarding for their beloved furry friends.
Our one year old dog had her first 1 week holiday away from us with posh dog boarding. She was well looked after by the caring & friendly staff. We had videos of our happy doggie which was wonderful to see & know our dog was enjoying herself. We have booked her in again!! Thank you. MG
Love Posh Dog Boarding! I was visiting from the US on holiday but also spending some time in my company's London office so I needed a safe & comfortable haven for my little princess, Billie. She's not the easiest of pups - a territorial and highly-protective-of-me mini schnauzer, so I was a bit worried leaving her for 4 nights. But she flourished. I can't thank the team at Posh enough for taking such excellent care of her! And I won't hesitate to bring her back next time I'm over! Posh Dog Boarding absolutely rocks!
This is the first time we have ever left our Pug other than with a family member since we got her at 10weeks and she's 7years this year. From the moment of booking through to dropping Ebony and collecting her after her stay at Posh Dogs Rosaleen was brilliant. Rosaleen made us feel happy, comfortable and confident in leaving Ebony in her care. Updates daily were great and showed Ebony was happy and comfortable in her surroundings. We booked Ebony in for a groom and on collecting her she was happy and beautifully turned out. I highly recommend Posh Dogs and would without a doubt send Ebony there again when I need her looking after. Thank you Rosaleen and team ❤️
From the first time we met Melissa and everyone at Barking Mad we have been more than Happy. Our dog Henry loves tham all and when he goes to stay with "Granny & Grandpa" he so excited he never looks back. We never worry while we are away and he always comes home happy and I am sure he has been well looked after and a bit spoiled. Melisa and the local Barking Mad team are simply the best and we would have no worries recommending them to anyone. A&P
Poppy, my dog and I just love Barking Mad! I was very worried leaving Poppy for the first time but Melissa made a perfect choice of host family for her. I receive regular updates and photos of her enjoying her Barking Mad holidays. I am so confident that she is well cared for she is already booked in for two holidays next year! It is obvious to people who know me well, to realise I am extremely attached and bonded with Poppy and I would not be happy to leave her with anyone else but Barking Mad Staines and her wonderful host family.
Barking Mad and Melissa are second to none! She and her team deliver a top class, professional and friendly service. My pet, Barney, has had several holidays with Barking Mad's caring hosts and has enjoyed everyone of them! I would highly recommend Melissa's business to anyone who wants their pet to be well cared for and loved, whilst they enjoy their well earned holiday.
We have been using Barking Mad Middlesex for 2 years now, ever since Harley, our lovely collie/greyhound/saluki mix, joined the family, so he has been on many holidays. Melissa is very efficient and we have total confidence in her and her team. They match up the dog with the perfect families to give Harley a lovey time while we are out working or on holiday. He always comes back looking well cared for and loved. So much more peace of mind than leaving him in kennels - you know someone is taking special care of your special family member!
Melissa is the best thing that has happened to us, we used to take our last dog to kennels, but I was never happy, I knew she was safe, but she seemed very low when she came home. When we got sparky, I saw the Barking mad van and went on the website to see what it was about, I rejoiced that there was an alternative to kennels and registered my interest, Melissa contacted me very quickly and then came around to meet sparky and chat to me, she found we were suitable for home boarding and sparky went for an overnight to see how she got on, she came back, full of beans and happy and Melissa told me that her and the host got on really well, so that was it, after her first holiday, Melissa brought her back and she ran in, wagged her tail at me and ran straight back out and jumped in the car again, she'd had that good a time. Melissa is the perfect person to run barking mad Staines, she is enthusiastic, kind and is totally in love with dogs, if I ever need a last minute booking, she pulls out all the stops for me, bottom line, she really cares that the dogs she places for their holidays are happy and well matched with their host families, I can now go on holiday knowing that Sparky is having as good a time as we are.
Melissa/Barking Mad has been awesome from day one. Barking Mad carefully places your dog with the right sitter, communicates well and is easy to book with. We have used Barking Mad many times, sometimes for up to two months, and have always had great experiences. Our dog is always happy to go with them. It is well worth the price.
We have boarded our Irish Setter Oberon with Barking Mad several times over the last 6 years, before and after Melissa took over the business. We were always delighted with Melissa’s assistance: Oberon had the chance to stay with 3-4 different hosts over the years and always found very careful and kind families who loved him! It is also a bonus that Melissa try to arrange the holidays when the same hosts whenever possible, so there is a real bond building up with the dog! We have always received frequent updates (and this was great for us, in particular when Oberon was hosted while we were away for few weeks on a very remote location!) and never doubted for a moment that Oberon was having a lot of fun all the time. Proof of this is that whenever he sees the Barking Mad van coming to pick him up he jumps around with joy and looks forward to go! He barely says us goodbye! He has been treated by the hosts as a member of the family, as he is for us, and has always come back from his holidays super happy. Using host families is much better then kennels for family dogs and Melissa has always been outstanding at organizing everything, always ready to do the extra mile for us! We would never hesitate to recommend her and actually we already had lot of friends who tried, and fell in love with this amazing service!
I am so glad that Melissa and her fantastic Barking Mad business are here for me and my little shih tzu Monty. Melissa is a delight and Monty is always absolutely thrilled to see her. Melissa has a great connection with dogs and their humans - it's hard not to feel calm and reassured by her. Professional, friendly and caring ensuring that I have complete peace of mind that Monty is well cared for at the home of a host that Melissa has carefully chosen. He loves his holidays with Barking Mad and although I miss him I know he is caring and capable hands with Melissa. She and her hosts are just fab.
Melissa and Barking Mad take wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. I wouldn’t send her anywhere else when we go on holiday. Daisy enjoys her time with her hosts and they usually spoil her with lots of walks. Highly recommend!
What a brilliant service. Melissa was professional, thorough and very warm - and clearly loves dogs! She placed our dog with a truly great host family who looked after Islay as their own, gave her 2 long walks a day and clearly lots of love. She definitely didn't want to come home! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melissa and her hosts. Thank you!
If you are like me and treat your dog as part of the family, look no further, Dogsaloud is what you are looking for! We have now boarded our 5 year old Standard Poodle, Abby, with Nilly and Ron for almost 4 years and I have to confess that they are like adoptive parents for our puppy. We go on vacation with absolute peace of mind, knowing that my "little baby" is being taken care of with the same dedication and love that I would give her. She is allowed on the couch, feed exactly what we instruct, taken on nice long walks and most importantly truly cared for. It's so reassuring to know she is in good hands, that now that we live in Belgium we still drive all the way back to UK to leave her at Nilly's care when we go on vacation! Last year we were in China for 3 weeks and I would have not enjoyed myself as much if Abby hadn't been with Nilly & Ron. I seriously can't thank them enough for not only caring for, but also giving our dog a "home away from home"! Thank you Dogsaoud ! ! !
I don’t think I can put into words just how fantastic Dogsaloud is and how much it means to my husband and I to have Nilly and Ron looking after our dog. We came across Dogsaloud by chance after moving to the area and it turned out to be the perfect place for Hazel. She’s been going to Nilly’s for about 3 years now and she absolutely loves it there, she pulls towards Nilly’s door when we walk past and when we drop her off she runs straight upstairs and makes herself comfy on the sofa, not one look back. It’s much more than a boarding place, it has become a second home for Hazel. We love it that she spends her time in a house in the company of people and other dogs and not isolated in a kennel; she goes for nice, long walks, and in fact we found out about a lot of great walking places from Nilly; she’s well looked after and she’s even allowed to sleep in bed UNDER THE COVERS, just like she does at home. Nilly’s been absolutely brilliant from the beginning, very accommodating and very flexible, which is great for two disorganized people like us. She’s helped us out in many, many ways, even taking Hazel to the vet for us when she got injured just before we started work. We really couldn’t ask for anything more, Dogsaloud is excellent!!!
So lucky to have found Lucy. Our 4yr old Havanese Chico is a nervous little rescue who is not keen on some people or other dogs. He has taken to Lucy straight away & her two little dogs Lola & Honey. Lucy keeps us updated often during the day with photos of him enjoying himself so we can leave him with complete peace of mind. We have even booked a holiday which would have been a complete no no a few months back but we know Chico will be well taken care of with Lucy.
Karen E - Teddy has been with Nilly since she was about 10 or 11 months old. I was let down by someone who looked after her and I needed someone to look after her quickly and someone I could trust. My neighbour recommended her to me because her dog also went to Nilly. My dog is a bit unsure of new people, and Nilly was very good at making sure that Teddy wasn't really stressed out by her coming into the house and taking her for a walk without me being there. Believe me, Nilly has been amazing and Teddy loves her. She now looks after Teddy full time which has been a huge relief for me. I don't know what I would do without her. She treats Teddy like her own dog. In fact, she says that Teddy is her dog and that she only goes home at night with me. Very funny and Teddy actually waits for me to take her to Nilly's in the mornings. I also leave her with Nilly and Ron when I go away and I feel so much better because Nilly sends me pictures and makes sure that I don't worry too much about her. I don't know why I even worry about her because she's so happy there, that she takes herself to bed when she's tired. Nilly loves the dogs so much and she looks after them so well. They are totally spoilt but it's great. It makes me happy that Teddy is always looked after and cared for. I really don't want her to go to anyone else. Nilly is the best :)
I thoroughly recommend Nilly, my dog stays with her a couple of days each week, often for longer than this as my husband and I travel with work a lot. My dog really enjoys staying there, and the other dogs are very friendly. My dog is very precious to me and I trust Nilly and her husband Ron to take good care of her.
good
My 5 month old puppy stayed with Debbie for 10 days when we went away. I was very nervous to leave him as he is so young. Debbie was absolutely amazing- he was very happy and looked great when I picked him up. I had regular photos and …
Debbie was recommended to us and she's been really good with our Puppy. We have left Bear our cockapoo with Debbie on 2 different occasions now and both times - Bear has come home happy. We received photos and videos of him playing with his sister and the lovely time he has had. Would definitely recommend Debbie
I have known Debbie for several years as she both groomed and looked after my lovely Westie until I lost her a few years ago, it was like my home from home when Millie stayed there, she loved it. I now have french bulldog and I didn't think …
Caroline from Minding Pets looks after our elderly deaf cat when we are away and it gives me peace of mind knowing that Caroline cares for our cat as if he was her own. She provides regular updates and contacts us with any concerns about his health or behaviour. We would highly recommend her.
Caroline was great. She kept my cat happy and healthy. Well recommended.
Caroline is conscientious, reliable and trustworthy. She is very caring and we always felt confident with her looking after our pet. Would highly recommend her. She loves what she does...
