Kennedy is a very warm and open person. Communication went very well from the first moment. We were lucky enough to meet her in person during the handover. Not only did she take excellent and responsible care of our cats, we also found our apartment to be absolutely tidy and clean. We can highly recommend Kennedy.
Kat is so much more than a house sitter, she has become a trusted friend. She took great care of Rusty, and went above and beyond the call of duty as she helped to train him to come in through the newly installed cat flap. He had got used to going out through it but for some reason would not come back in that way. Kat took it upon herself to help him learn and he is definitely learning!! I can't thank her enough. She also sent me photos and short videos of him everyday. . She is reliable, practical, self-sufficient, kind, warm and all in all a perfect house sitter. Don't hesitate to choose her and John to house sit for you if you get the chance, you won't be disappointed.

Emma and Simon looked after my dog Nala and my mums dog shelby when I got married in the area. They had such a great time. We felt at ease leaving our fur babies with Emma and Simon as it was clear to see that they are as mad about dogs as we are. There was also a Google photo Album shared with us throughout their stay so we could see how content and happy the dogs were playing with Emma and Simons own family and fur babies Would highly recommend hounds on holiday to anyone Thank you Emma and Simon for taking such good care of Nala And Shelby.
We have an anxious Cockapoo, Oscar who I was nervous about leaving to go on holiday, but after visiting Emma & Simon (and their dogs Wanda and Merlin) with Oscar to make sure everyone was happy, we could see they were absolutely committed to ensuring he had the best time while we were away. They ask about any likes/dislikes your dog has, how you like them to be fed etc. In case of emergencies they have your pet insurance and vet info, dogs are apple ID tagged once they arrive for safety(which I found especially reassuring) The great part was receiving photos and messages daily so we could see how he was getting on. Seeing him having cuddles with everyone and lying on the sofa with Simon giving him belly rubs we knew he was happy and relaxed which was great. Absolutely recommend 100%
Emma, Simon and family are such lovely people who truly care and love your beloved dogs! I was so nervous about leaving our dog for the first time when we went abroad for our wedding but they honestly put you at ease. From little messages to photos and videos daily honestly made me smile to see him every day while we were away. Seeing him out on walks, socialising with other dogs and especially having cuddles on the sofa with everyone is just what Alfie needed while we were away.. Definitely Hounds on Holiday!! 100% recommend to anyone!!
Our little Willow (chihuahua cross) stayed with Emma and Simon overnight this week. Willow is blind and diabetic (insulin injections twice a day). It was her first stay away since the diagnosis and then going blind. We were very worried how she would cope within an unfamiliar environment and people she doesn't know. But she managed brilliantly with the excellent help from Emma and Simon. Not only did they look after Willow making sure she was safe, ate her food, had her insulin, but also updated us with photos throughout the day. This put our nerves at ease and allowed us to have a day away for family celebrations. Thank you Emma & Simon for looking after Willow so well. Maggie, Frank & Willow
Our dog Finnley's first stay here and what a wonderful and caring place for him to stay.Hes an old man with diabetes and blindness and was cared for wonderfully and we were so happy that he was safe and had his insulin, but also updated us with photos of his time there, which reassured us he was happy. Thank you both so very much for your kindness.
Our little Westie is our pride and joy and we were reluctant to leave him at a typical kennels. We found Hounds on Holiday and arranged a meet and greet at their lovely home. Emma and Simon were great and took to Rab straightaway. Rab loved the dogs there and had great fun in the garden which backs onto beautiful fields for long walks. Everything was communicated very well and we arranged a trial sleepover. Emma and Simon set up a Google photos share and very actively updated it through the sleepover, which was very comforting. When we went away we were completely satisfied and confident Rab would be cared for incredibly well. We had many daily photos where he was treated like one of the family; exactly what was needed. I cannot recommend this couple enough. Genuine dog lovers who treated our boy like a prince. Would definitely use Emma and Simon again. Thank you very much, Hounds on Holiday. Superb!
Fantastic! Tilly had never stayed away from home and we were apprehensive about who I'd be happy sending her to. We needn't have worried as Emma and Simon really did treat her like one of their own beautiful dogs, we received regular photos of her playing and enjoying her time away with her new doggy friends. We cannot recommend Hounds on Holidays enough we're so happy with by far the best doggy care you could hope for. Tilly had the best time!
Bruce had the most amazing holiday!! We had so many pictures videos of Bruce and his adventures and snuggle time with Emma and Simon. We highly recommended Hounds on Holiday. Bruce had the best time and make so many pup friends.. thank you so much for looking after our boy your amazing xx
Our Westie has an absolutely wonderful time with Emma and Simon. It's good to know your precious pet is well looked after and completely safe. Lovely walks to go on as well. Thank you so much Emma and Simon
My very spoilt pooch was looked after beautifully for one week. Simon and Emma sent me photos every day, gave my dog his medication and treated him like one of their family. I would definitely recommend Hounds on Holiday.
A caring and well-managed dog boarding centre that ensures the welfare of each dog comes first. I trust Sarah because she is insured, lisenced and genuinely adores dogs. They have so much outdoor exercise and are never left to boredom.
Fantastic service cannot ask for a nicer person very caring and knowledgeable absolutely recommend.
Absolutely perfect.
The owners are passionate about dogs and it shows in their care. They managed to fit us in with weeks to spare before our holiday. I was nervous about the dog staying somewhere new but I shouldn't have worried. He had a great time and was well looked after. Will be using them again next year.
Excellent service and highly recommend. Just collected our puppy after the break away and it’s the first time he’s been away. We were sent photos during the stay and had communication throughout his stay here. Secure premises and have already booked in for him to stay again.
Ver accomodating. Very dog orientated and caring. First time we have left our dog and he loved it. Will definately use it again.
Dawn and Pete are the best
Many thanks for the kind review, Chris 🙂 …
Our dog is cared for perfectly. Would recommend above all others.
Marvellous dog day care.
Debbie took the time to understand our needs and get to know our Labrador before finding him the best possible fit while we were away for 10 days. She found a family who already had labs and who welcomed him into their home with open arms. We received regular pictures and updates while away. Couldn’t recommend Debbie and team enough. They are professional, friendly and above all care about your pets as much as you do! X
We came across We Love Pets Hereford simply from seeing a lady in a clearly advertised red t shirt walking a dog down our road. We were in need of a dog walker due to going away for a few days and from just that first sighting she looked so kind and caring, and the dog genuinely looked like he had a smile on his face! I immediately found the website and contacted Deb who got back to me right away and we had a lovely chat about my beagle Lexi on the phone first and then she came to the house for a little encounter with her personally. That went really well and Lex wouldn’t leave her side! We arranged the days and times that Lex would be walked and where everything would be left as well as discussing her individual needs and routines. The ladies who came to the house to walk her did an amazing job and everything that I had asked them to do. We also received some lovely photos of Lexi on every walk they took her on which was really reassuring. The house was left exactly as I had left it but with one very tired and happy dog sprawled on the sofa! We have used We Love Pets Hereford a few times now and Deb has been so wonderful, even when I’ve rung her last minute! We will always recommend to any friends or family and will most certainly continue to use their reliable and passionate service in the future. Thank you so much We Love Pets Hereford - you are simply brilliant at what you do!
My usual pet sitter recommended We Love Pets as she was unable to look after our basset hound while we went away for a couple of days. Debs was lovely to communicate with and the meet and greet went well. She asked lots of important questions about Logan which was professional and reassuring. We were given daily updates on how he was doing, and it was wonderful to see him getting cuddles and going out on walkies. On coming home, Logan was relaxed and evidently well taken care of, and the house was just as we left it. Thank you to We Love Pets and shout out to Will for his patience with our sweet & stubborn boy :)
Like many of you out there, it is of the upmost importance that you find the right people to walk and care for your fur babies. After meeting Debs at We Love Pets, Hereford. It was clear to both my wife and I that they really care for your pets and want what’s best for them. We’ve been with Debs and her team for a few months now, and couldn’t wish for more trustworthy, reliable and accommodating dog walkers than what we got. With pictures and updates on how our little girl, Molly is doing whilst with them. We highly recommend Debs and the team at We Love Pets, Hereford to anyone and everyone. I’m sure anybody out there that’s looking for a dog Walker or pet sitting, will find it hard to beat them. A big thank you from the 3 of us !!!! “FIVE STARS ALL ROUND” Rich, Beckie & Molly
I'm so please with the care that Debs has given our Cat Gertie, I enjoy the daily updates and photos I received from her about our cat. So reassuring when you are away from home and wondering if they are OK. Debs also brings in the post , waters plants etc. An absolute Godsend.
Debs and her team did a super job of feeding, looking after and keeping our 5 cats very happy for 3 weeks. It was very reassuring to leave our cats in we love pets capable hands, particularly our diabetic cat which has to be injected twice a day. They visited twice prior to us going to have test run to make sure we were all happy. We will definitely continue to use we love pets great services.
Debs was fantastic - our cats loved her and warmed to her straight away! You can tell she cares a lot about animals, demonstrated by how she got down on the floor to greet our cats - they’d never responded so well to a stranger before, it was amazing! She went the extra mile for us, literally, by coming a bit further out of Hereford than usual to make sure our 2 cats were well looked after while we were on holiday. She did a thorough consultation with us so we felt confident all information was communicated and kept us updated everyday how our cats were doing. We highly recommend her and will be using her services again, for sure!
We are relatively new to we love pets but so far very impressed with the service. We have a very anxious Labrador who takes a long time to trust new people. Deb has been very patient and has put in a lot of time and effort into building a bond with our girl, to ensure she is comfortable and happy. Would highly recommend!
We used We Love Pets Hereford for our wedding to look after our dog for the day as we wanted her included in the day but knew it would be difficult to have her around all day. I couldn’t recommend them more. Debs was amazing, kept me updated and informed of all requirements and ran everything so smoothly. And to top it off; our dog had the best day and was so so well taken care of! Thank you so much!
Lovely Tracey who is dog boarder for We Love Pets recently had our miniature dachshund for 9 nights for the first time. We loved the regular updates & photos so we didn’t worry about him. We could tell Ron was very much at home & loved Tracey as it’s not often he settles on people’s laps because he is so energetic. Debbie was brilliant in keeping us updated and we had a few meet & greets beforehand to ensure they knew all of Ron’s needs. Our Ron came back home & he’s been his happy little self so I really feel like it was a holiday for him too. We will be booking again very shortly for our next holiday! Thank you so much for having our Ron & looking after him so we didn’t worry whilst we were away.
Our dog, Stanley, stayed at Larkholme for the first time this weekend. We left our dog with the knowledge he would be well looked after, as I had previously had an appointment to look around the premises and was very impressed with what they offer. I was impressed to learn that there are always 3 members of staff on-site. The day we come back from our getaway saw severe floods hit many parts of Herefordshire, Claire was flexible in allowing my parents to pick Stanley up, outside of their normal opening times, before the floods got too bad. Thank you, we received a very happy dog when we finally made it home. We have found our new kennels of choice! William
Amazing owners who do know how to look after German Shepherds. We have two. They are amazing with them and caring. Would highly recommend for all dogs and cats. We have used them for every holiday. They give us comfort and peace of mind, knowing our dogs and two cats are in a safe and friendly holiday home.
Our cat stayed for 9 days with Larkholme for the first time while we were on holiday and it was great. They were very professional, very friendly. It was obvious they were going to make a fuss of him during his stay. You are allocated a specific drop off/pick up time which makes it very relaxed for your pet. He came away with a very nice goodie bag when we picked him up. Have already booked him in again for two weeks in the summer.
Clare and family have created a fantastic place for pet holidays. Our girls have stayed multiple times and always enjoy their stay. The Facebook photos during their stay show us the girls having fun. When we pick them up it is clear that they are healthy, happy, and have had a fantastic time. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
If you want peace of mind for your pup, this is the place. There may be cheaper options, but all of the staff here fill us with confidence that our little guy is well looked after. The daily photos allow us to check in, and he always appears to be enjoying his holiday as much as we are our own.
Absolutely fantastic service. We have used Larkeholme for the past 8 years, now under new owners the last few years has been a huge improvement. They care so much about our dog, he has an amazing time and can’t get into the place quick enough when we take him. We would 1100% recommend them to anyone 👏👏👏😃😃😃 …
Excellent. Daily pictures from our dogs, what was very nice to see. Highly recommend!
Our 2 Papillons have stayed here twice, they absolutley loved it. They were very happy and looking smart when we picked them up. They had been looked after very well indeed. The owners and staff are lovely and very helpful, would not send our dogs anywhere else. Also the daily photo updates on Facebook put your mind at rest when you are away, you can see how happy they are.
The first time we've used Larkholme and after the boys (2 Rotties) stay of six days I can highly recommend. The initial booking in and information given about their care and stay was excellent, everyone was so friendly and helpful. We dropped the off the boys and immediately felt at ease. Daily photos of the dogs and cats were posted and all having fun playing, they came home happy and clean with a little treat bag. This is the best kennels we have used in Hereford, couldn't be happier. Boys booked in again for their next little break. Big Thank you to everyone at Larkholme.
Herbie our 11 month old Boxer appears to have loved his two night stay. First time for Herbie, but we have used Larkholme for a number of years. There's since been a change of ownership and I still wouldn't use anywhere else.
Woodys Petcare looked after our 2 cats whilst we were on holiday, both cats were really relaxed and content when we got home so we knew they had been we'll cared for. We also received updates and knew they were in safe hands. Highly recommend and we will be using them again.
Emma is brilliant with our boisterous lab. She has attended our wedding to ensure he was a good boy and watched him for us while we went on our honeymoon. He has his weekly walks with her and he is over the moon everytime he sees her! Couldn't recommend her enough she is lovely and you can tell how much she cares for our fur baby. ❤️
Emma has done lunch time visits for my dog Storm for almost three years and has always been accommodating. She has taken great care of Storm 🐺 and has always been highly professional and friendly. I cannot recommend Emma enough 🤩. Thank you for all you’ve done for Storm. X …
Brilliant service by Emma. My dogs simply love her! Very reliable. She has never let me down and has gone out of her way to help me when I have asked at short notice. Used at least 3 times a week for when I'm at work for the past 2 years. My dogs are very happy.
A++ 5* After using Wuff wuff walks I wouldn’t even dream of using another service. Emma is amazing . I adore my doggies and would only have the best for them, and wuff wuff walks provides that and more ! They love seeing Emma and I couldn’t feel more comfortable or confident in her services. I would be lost with the help from this fantastic business. Highly recommend. Thank you for everything you do and the love and unconditional care you provide for my pooches.
I've never felt so passionate about leaving a review! Allison is amazing and my fur baby (Bella) was in extremely good hands therefore I have no hesitation in recommending Wuff Wuff Walks for day care. I'm that impressed with how professional she is that Bella is already booked in for boarding. Allison and Ophelia (her daughter) have a great love for dogs and Bella clearly had the best day ever as she didn't want to leave! Plus the photos with comments of what she had been up to during the day that Allison emailed to me was hilarious... More importantly, Bella was her usual self at home meaning she had been super happy during the day and not stressed at all. Honestly, do not think twice... if you treasure your fur baby the way I do then I promise you Wuff Wuff Walks for day care/boarding will be the best decision you make. Allison also does dog Reiki (something you and your pooch need to be open to) and she's really good. Bella responded really well and it's something we are continuing with for her separation anxiety . Like I said at the start, I've never felt so passionate about leaving a review!
Would highly recommend this company and emma to all. She is very experienced and immediately made us feel at ease with how she interacted with our strenuous puppy! Reliable, very reasonably priced, and clearly loves and knows dogs and they love her in equal measure.
Brilliant service provided. Emma looked after our two toy poodles and 3 guests dogs for our wedding. She was brilliant
