Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least £15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We cannot fault Tracy on her care for our 3 cats. The time taken beforehand to ensure she had all the information and knew our cats behaviours, needs and preferences was meant so much and made us feel absolutely secure in leaving our furbabies. We do live slightly out of her range but the higher fee was well worth it for the care taken, communication and absolute professionalism. Would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs someone trustworthy to care for ther pets when away
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Orchard Pet Care to anyone who requires dog walking, pet sitting & the looking after of creatures great & small! I have used Tracy for years & she looks after my pets as though they were her own. I always go away with peace of mind knowing my guineas & birds are being well cared for in their own home.
First class service! A real home from home for my chocky lab, she always enjoys her time at Orchard - a full 5 stars from the both of us.
Tracy at Orchard Pet Care is fantastic, she has a way with animals and is totally proffesional in every way. You can tell she does the job with love not just as a wage, I cannot recomend her enough. Thank you for everything you have done for Ted and myself.
The ONLY place I would ever leave my precious dogs. The owner looks after your pet as though it were one of hers. Should you, wish she will send you regular updates how your pet is doing. My puppy stayed there for a few days due to us having an unexpected hospital stay. This was our puppy's first time away from home and we were worried how she would settle......no need, she was fine thanks to the love and attention from Tracy the owner. I 100% recommend Orchard Pet Care.
Tracy has been walking Jake for around 3 years and what a find. She walks Jake with other dogs and they all thoroughly enjoy their playtime together. Very reliable and her quality of care towards her dogs is unquestionable. Couldn't ask for any better and we would be lost without her. Keep up the good work Tracy you are worth every penny 🐾👍
Orchard Pet Care are a fab service, we have been using their services of dog walking, home visits and also looking after our dogs in our own home whilst we are away since we moved to the area earlier this year and we are so glad we found them! Very professional and reliable and provide a great service
Very flexible service, I often swop and change my boys walks or cancel all together and it’s never a problem. Benji loves to walk with Tracey and his other doggy friends, he can sense her van if it’s anywhere on the block. This service has been a life saver for us and our dog.
Tracy was fantastic. We were so worried about leaving our cats while we were away, but she sent photos and kept us updated everyday. A fabulous service and a wonderful kind lady. Thank you Tracy 😊 …
Great big massive thank you to Orchard Pet Care, who came to our rescue, when we had a family gathering to attend and needed help with our 5 month old Fox Red Lab..he had the best care, Tracy took great care with my grand pup, walks, feeding and just knowing he was in safe hands, made we could relax..
Having never left our beloved cats with anyone but family while on holiday, I was really nervous to ask someone I didn’t know, to come in and see them while we went on a last minute break. Adrian really put my mind at ease from the first email contact we had, followed by two visits before we went away which were all informative and helpful. Adrian is a lovely chap and sent me a daily update, with photos, after every visit. Our three cats don’t seem to be stressed or upset on our return, with clean litter trays, fresh water and still with food. I would definitely use Adrian again. A super chap, who really does love pets.
Adrian is excellent! He lets our dog out 3 days a week for a walk and she loves it. The service is very professional. He did a Pre-visit assessment to go through everything we and he needed to know. After every visit he sends update’s with pictures so we can see her on her walk. Overall amazing service and lovely company!
A great dog walking service. Adrian is great with my dog, Alice and I feel assured knowing she is in caring hands. It's great to be kept updated after every dog walk too! Easily contactable and very fairly priced.
My doggy Buddy has just returned from having his wonderful 2 week holiday staying with Adrian & Julie. Buddy has stayed there previously and Adrian and Julie are so very professional and caring. Buddy has been known to be a 'tricky' eater but they take this in their stride and he has the best time whilst in their care. I was regularly updated with photos and short messages which was fantastic and really appreciated. Adrian and Julie really are very special people and you really are leaving your pets in the best possible hands :)
We used We Love Pets Sleaford this summer for the first time. It was the first time we had left our rescue dog Mina with anyone else and we really wanted the personal touch. Adrian and Julie really welcomed Mina into their home and looked after her as one of their own, with love and care. They are clearly animal focussed and make sure everything is right before they take on your pet, the right kind of attention to detail that leaves you reassured they know what they’re doing and everything will be fine. Before we left her for her boarding, we were introduced to the home and set-up as well as their dog Bentley, this was really useful. We also used their dog walking services on a couple of occasions so that they could get to low each other sooner (and to get us out of a pickle). I couldn’t be happier with the service and have booked again for next year and will continue to use the dog walking services when it would be difficult for us to give Mina the outing she deserves. I thoroughly recommend We Love Pets Sleaford, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and truly pet loving!
What an absolute blessing to have found Adrian and Julie. We have a 6 year old cavapoo, Flo. She has just had a week stay with them, for the first time, and we could not have wished for more for her. Adrian was so thorough when I took Flo for a visit, there is no doubt that the care, comfort and well-being of your dog is at the forefront of the We Love Pets experience. It is the first time I have been away without Flo and had no worries at all. Adrian shared pictures of Flo settling in and reassured me when I got in touch to see how she was doing. A wonderful home from home. Thank you again Adrian and Julie for giving us the confidence to leave our precious furbaby ❤️. We will definitely be bringing her to see you again 😊.
This is our first main holiday leaving our two young bunnies home alone, in the exceptional heat of 22. Born aug 21 they have spent the autumn/winter indoors with us and are lovely company. In recent weeks, they went into their summer outdoor living. Adrian has been fantastic. He’s visited our two girls every day, freshening up food, litter and bedding and - most importantly - bonding with them. Our two rabbits have had constant access to their hutch & two runs and Adrian quickly got to know them. We had daily updates and photos to show how contented they were. We’re very grateful to Adrian for all his care and wouldn’t hesitate to ask for his services again. We would highly recommend We Love pets. Thank you 🙏
We used dog boarding services and we are really pleased that our dog Monty was so well looked after. Adrian provided updates on how he is doing which put our minds at ease knowing he is settling well. I also liked the secure environment which ensured that Monty was kept safe at all times. Very friendly service. Highly recommended :)
Excellent and professional. I have had the plelasure to use We Love Pets services with Adrian conducting home visists for my two cats in December and during Christmas period 2023. Pre-visit assessment and care itself was well planned and executed with very good understanding of cats habits, behaviours and eating schedule. Updates with pictures were provided and agreed in advance to suit pet owners' needs and frequency. Overall great experience, superb service, well looked after pets, will definitely use again!
Unfailingly friendly, professional & reliable service from the get go. My 11 year old Sprollie really loves his walks with Adrian twice a day & comes back a very happy boy. Adrian has always been very personable, polite, knowledgeable & trustworthy. He is very patient with our dog & a great calming influence as Ben can be very anxious at times, with both strangers & coming across other dogs whilst out on walks. Despite Ben's nervousness around meeting new people, and especially men, he took to Adrian straight away - which really says it all. It's a great relief to know he is in such capable hands when out on his walks. Can't recommend Adrian & We Love Pets highly enough!
We have now used Woody's for our nervous cocker Honey several times and I can't recommend them enough. This is a family run business and they do an amazing job. We were nervous about putting Honey into kennels at first as she isn't overly keen on strangers, but seeing her bum wiggle when she knows where she's going shows us that we made the right choice in coming to Woody's. Thank you guys, you do amazing work!
Picked up our two pups this morning after their first weeklong stay at Woody’s and could not be happier! I can tell they had a great time playing and running around as they are absolutely tuckered out and haven’t moved from the couch since we’ve got home! The dogs were handed to me clean, tails wagging, and had been given a bath the day before and all of their bedding had been washed. The staff are all lovely and welcoming, the kennels clean (we were invited for a tour before dropping them off), great with replying to emails/ phone calls, and easy to book in with. I was nervous leaving them as this was our first time having the dogs in a kennel but the staff put our minds at ease and they came highly recommended from my husband's family. We could not have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be bringing the pups back for future trips :) Thanks again!
All I can say is our dog loves it here. I’ve been using Woodys kennels for a few yrs now. I wouldn’t go anywhere else…Excellent service !!
I'm very happy with the care they gave my boy Glenn. And was great to hear he was no bother. Never been away from my boy for 10 days before but I'll definitely be giving Woody's another go when I have a holiday booked again. Can't fault them!
Wouldn’t send my dog anywhere else. She loves being there and we can enjoy our breaks away knowing she is being so well cared for and happy. Professional, friendly and experience family who run the kennels. Absolutely 5 star.
Dino absolutely loved his 2 weeks here , the staff are fantastic
We were really anxious leaving our precious fur babies for nearly two weeks. We visited several kennels and liked the feel of woodys immediately. We trialed a few days and they came back happy and well cared for so we booked them in for the longer duration. They came home happy, healthy and well cared for. Added bonus that they had a good wash and smelled amazing. Thank you, we will be back again and again.
Firstly thank you to Nicole and her lovely family for all the wonderful care with Milo. It was my first time using the kennels for Milo. But I can honestly say it was the best choice I have made. I did travel and it was so worth it!. The love, care and attention was perfect with updated photos and videos to let you know they are happy. Definitely would highly recommend xx
Very friendly and experienced staff. Our first time boarding here but this will be a regular stay for our doggies. Reasonably priced too.
I was so worried leaving my 4yr old pooch who had never been in kennels before. I visited other kennels prior to seeing Woodys but Woodys was a clear winner. After over 2 weeks I collected my dog. He was healthy and happy. All my worries were abated. Thank you so much to all the team. Rudie will be back for a short visit in November xx
Absolutely Barkers has looked after our dog since he was a puppy. We can’t fault the service at all. The facilities are excellent, Marie is friendly and knowledgeable and the dogs are treated like members of the family. The services are always evolving with Marie’s new ideas to make the best of everything for the dogs. We would thoroughly recommend it!!
My boy loves going to daycare, he loves all the team and is so well cared for whilst there. He gets top training, care and supervision, I have no worries about leaving him during the day or for night boarding. The team also offer cat care in the home if needed. Highly recommend 👌 …
An amazing team who go beyond looking after your dog. So knowledgeable in every aspect of dog care. Marie the founder is always surprising you with new equipment at day care to keep the dogs happy and stimulated, the latest being the soft play area. Judi and Ryan both such lovely doggy people who along with Marie are always ready to give advice on anything to do with your fur baby.
We always get out dog food from Marie excellent value and great quality easy to order and pick up or delivery. The subscription box marie does is amazing and my dog loves it and it's great value the toy and treats are high end .
My pup has been going here to daycare since post lockdown. He really enjoys it and comes back exhausted and happy after every session. It really is a second home for him and he greets Marie with joy every time. We also use the boarding service and we would not send him anywhere else. I know that Remy will be safe there and Marie will treat him like her own. It's a fantastic, safe and professional environment and I would recommend it to anyone.
My wife and I came to Absolutely Barkers last year with our new puppy, and I am so glad we did. From his first visit to this very day, the team have provided an excellent service. With us both working away from home alot, I know that my puppy will be cared for to the highest degree. The standard of daycare and boarding is fantastic, and could not fault it. Marie and her team are extremely passionate about what they do, combined with their vast knowledge of canine behaviour, health, etc... (and a massive bundle of love!), I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to everyone.
I would thoroughly recommend Absolutely Barkers pet care and dog walks. We have used them since moving into the area in March 2021 and Marie and Judi have consistently exceeded our expectations. Whether it be day or night care or the house drop in service looking after our cats, or walking our dog, they always keep us up to date through personal messages or social media posts. If there are ever any issues we are kept informed in a timely manner and they are never short of advice in all matters relating to dog training/care. Our dog loves going to see all the other dogs, Marie and her family, she really enjoys all the fun activities and more recently the adventure walks. Absolutely Barkers facilities are beautifully maintained and kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, it’s like a home away from home.
Thoroughly positive experience with this business. Reliable, trustworthy and professional. The dogs come first. Total care and interest in the well-being of your loved pet. Full of experience and knowledge, cannot recommend highly enough.
Always excellent service from Judy on the dog walking service. My two greyhounds have gone from hyper attentive and needing mussles, walking without them on near other dogs without batting an eyelid. Cannot recommend them enough
My Archie dog loves going to see Marie & her mum, he gets so excited when we turn into the road & can't get out of the car quick enough. He has his first overnight in November & I don't have any worries at all about leaving him with Marie & family, I know that he will be fine & spoilt rotten just as he is at home. A great service & very friendly nothing is too much trouble for Marie. I would highly recommend Absolute Barkers to any doggie pawrents.
Thanks Terry for the 5 stars. X
I would thoroughly recommend Paws & More. Having recently relocated to the local area and needing occasional support with my Ragdoll, Remy, I reached out to Paws & More for help. Mel was instantly responsive and the communication with her has been brilliant. As soon as I met her, and saw her interact with Remy I knew he, and my home would be treated with the utmost care and respect. Mel promptly returned my messages, and her flexibility allowed me to make last-minute adjustments to Remy's care schedule with ease when my commitments changed. It was such a relief to return home to a happy, contented cat. I will definitely be entrusting my cat with Mel again! If you're seeking a cat sitter who will go above and beyond to treat your pet like their own, I'd thoroughly recommend Paws & More. You won't be disappointed
Mel looked after our 3 kitties while we went away for a week and we were a little bit nervous initially about someone the cats didn’t know properly coming in and looking after them but we needn’t have been!!! We have an extrovert/people cat, a “will come to you for food” cat and an extremely skittish and scaredy cat and Mel couldn’t have done more to make all 3 of them individually feel safe and loved!! She even managed to get our scaredy cat out of hiding for treats AND ate them out of her palm!! We were honestly thrilled with the updates and pictures every day so that we could thoroughly enjoy our holiday. We’re so grateful to Mel for everything (including her patience with our nervous girl) this past week and will be recommending Paws and More to our friends and family. Thanks again! 😸🐾🐾🐾
Mel looked after our cats whilst we were on holiday. She went the extra mile and we had daily updates to let us know how they were. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our break, without worrying at all. An excellent, personalised service. Would highly recommend, and we will definitely be using again very soon!
Honestly, I cannot speak highly enough of Mel and the Paws and More pet service. She looked after my cat Cleo wonderfully. I was sent photos and a video at every visit. It’s so lovely to know Cleo was comfortable at home without the stress of a cattery. Mel clearly loves animals and Cleo really bonded with her and looked so at ease. Highly recommended!
Absolutely brilliant!! Great service by two highly trusted people, it was a good feeling knowing our cats were being properly looked after and checked on, while we were away on holiday for two weeks. Constantly receiving pictures / video via text message was really reassuring! Thank you so much Mel & Jo!
Absolutely amazing! Not only is it a weight off your shoulders that your pets are getting well looked after when you’re away, but it also puts you at ease that trusted people are checking on your house as well! Would trust them with my life! Awesome experience and the nicest people ever! Thank you!!
Hey folks, finally found a pet-sitting service that does what it promises. I've not dared go on holiday for many years (30!) because I love my babies and can't bear to leave them, for fear of . . . I don't know what i fear, just for unspecified fear, maybe you'll know what I mean. Well, I've taken the plunge after word-of-mouth and gone away leaving my dogs, cats and hugely demanding show koi in the care of Jo and Mel - i live on the border between Jo's Sleaford hub and her twin sister Mel's Branston-based hub, and both have looked after my babies. Jo and Mel look spookily similar so I can't tell which is which . . guess that helps my babies too. Thoroughly recommend. Nicholas John.
Thank you for taking such lovely care of Daxie, Evie and Boo! Knowing that they are in such safe hands meant that I could enjoy my holiday without worry. Highly recommended!!
Jo was great, really took care of my cat whilst I was away. The regular messages and photo’s reassured me while I was away. I would highly recommend the service.
Amazing service, stress free and so friendly, came back from holiday to a very happy cat! Will definitely be using Paws & More whenever we go away.
I've been using Safe and Hound for 7+ years. They've been fantastic caring for my dogs every time I've asked - on sociable walks, let-outs, feeding and dog sitting. Highly recommended.
Our pets are part of our families, and that's exactly how they're treated by the Safe and Hound team. My dog absolutely loves his days at 'doggy daycare', and is always excited when he sees the van pull up outside! He's been going to them for 18 months now, and I can't say enough nice things about them. The care is superb, he gets lots of exciting walks balanced by plenty of rest and gentle pottering around the garden (he's an old boy with multiple health issues, and his activities are tailored to his needs). Not to mention lots and lots of fuss and cuddles!
Absolutely brilliant thank you so much!
Really good facility! One of the larger/better ones in the local area! Can see by social media the owner takes great pride in it. Would be could to have a wash down facility and a gate that is secure!
2 ½ years ago, I visited. I met there one of the managers with my then puppy Cockapoo. The kennels looked clean, the loose boxes where they exercised the dogs looked good, although they were no bigger than a small back garden, and about three times the size of their personal kennel and run, where they were placed 3 times per day, ½ hour per time. Their capacity of 62 dogs housed in two kennel blocks was the same capacity then as it is today. They told us before we went of how much we were charged for the coming stay via invoice via email. On the bottom of the invoice was their bank details, for ‘bank transfer or cash payments’ only. We paid during the dog’s stay, we brought our dogs to the gate, where we discussed any dietary or medicine or other requirements my dog may have and they took my dog and his bag of a few toys, treats I sent him with and his medicine. On my return, my dog was handed back to me at the gate by the staff, along with his bag of toys. I only had to do the bank transfer once. I did get one visit of two nights where the manager that took my dog admitted they ‘forgot’ to put on the medicine board my dog’s medicine, so he never received it, and had it all returned to me. Just glad it was only two nights and not a longer stay, I told the manager. So, fast forward 2 ½ years, when for some reason, which I can’t quite fathom, due to their capacity, which is still the same as 2 ½ years ago, they charged for VAT plus a yearly increase in fees. Also, they had decided to start charging deposits on booking due to, they said, too many people cancelling on short notice. I never did. This meant I had to do the fiddly bank transfer twice now. On my first visit since the VAT increase, I wrote emails just prior to boarding, telling them how much I had paid, and to confirm my email. All I got was a short thrift reply from one of the staff, not telling me if I had paid enough or not on the new prices. This meant that I had to board my dog not knowing how much extra from the original invoice given to me before this increase, only a ‘guide’ as to how much we were being charged from a price list they sent. I am not accustomed to accepting a service without knowing how much its going to cost in full via an invoice. As I had nowhere else for him to go at such short notice, then I had to board him there. I did question as to why I received an invoice at the end of my dog’s stay, when I had sent in emails, trying to get out of them the total cost of the stay prior to boarding. I was told that one of the key managers that does the emails, and invoicing was in hospital. Now, this is business, and from my point of view, business should not be mixed with any other aspect of our lives, including illness. Due to this manager being ill, emails were not getting replied to properly, and when I did not reciprocate with sympathy about this manager being ill, the other manager, who tried to give the excuse of them ‘only working with the dogs’ became irate. My replies in a calm voice were, you haven’t got anyone else trained such as yourself to do invoicing, no one else to check emails on your staff? You were able to invoice me at the end of my dog’s stay, therefore you should have been able to invoice me before he boarded. They thought me rude when I said this and that if they only had one staff to look after the dogs and the manager, then they should be taking in less dogs, or making cancellations, not trying to make an excuse to not provide an invoice or give a sub-standard service. Due to this now sub-standard service, I left and will not be returning.
CHECK AS THEY ARE BREED BIASED! Called for last min availability for our 2 much loved dogs. Was booked in but then told to hang on then advised they wouldn’t take our dogs as they are Italian Mastiffs? no explanation as to why but when pushed said the owner of the kennels didn’t like the breed and had bad experiences in the past? Surely you should list the dogs you will and won’t kennel to save everyone’s time and avoid causing offence? Perhaps advise your staff to ask the breed before you go any further! We also have a Maltese terrier and a Boston terrier but will be sure to not waste your time asking in the future!
Such a great kennels. All the staff are lovely and my dog absolutely loves staying here. Would definitely recommend.
Our dog Beau absolutely loves coming here. As soon as he's out of the car, his tail doesn't stop wagging, and he's off with the staff, without so much as even a glance back at us!!!! It's so reassuring to know he's happy here while we're away, and allows us to relax as well. Thanks to all here.
Use Khinjan on a fairly regular basis for my cat who is very anti social. Never had any issues , always do their best to accommodate. Very friendly and professional, would highly recommend
Best Kennels in the area. The owners and kennel hands cannot do enough to help you and care for your pet. I have been using them since they took over from a previous owner and they are second to none. Would and do recommend them every time. Really deserve 10 stars. My dog loves going there and doesn't even look back when handed over. It makes every stay in the kennels a relaxing time for me because he us so happy when I go to collect him.
Fabulous place and fabulous owners. Very highly recommended a visit, you won't be disappointed
My dog has been boarded and groomed here for many years now. She doesn't take to a lot of people but loves Sarah and Paul. She actually gets excited when she realises I'm getting her things ready to go there. I can always leave her here with confidence that she'll be well cared for.
Really friendly people who obviously love dogs and look after them extremely well. Although our 2 year old Labradoodle was full of excitement when he saw that we had come to pick him up, he spent the rest of the day and evening fast asleep, so he must have had a good and very active time.
Excellent kennels. Sara and Paul are fantastic people very caring as are the rest of the staff. I would call it a first class hotel for your pampered pets. Highly recommended it.
Would never use any other kennels, have been taking my dogs for years. Stella and Dave are brilliant and look after all of my dogs really well. My 3 dogs are always happy to go
Was our first time using a kennel as we’d been let down last minute and were anxious about it. Felt very reassured as the owner really knows her stuff. Let’s the dogs off lead when we collect them as she knows putting them straight on a lead would get them too excited. It’s not much to look at and a bit whiffy (to be expected) but it was perfect for the dogs who got lots of cuddles and play. Would be happy to use again.
Our Summer stayed with this lovely couple that run this hotel for dogs... Our Summer has a lovely Halloween Smile that can strike fear into any person that has never handled a nervous dog before. We were nervous, because our Summer is a nervous dog particularly around men. We were told, exactly what we needed to hear on arrival to pick her up, no fibbing no lieing, we know she is in safe hands and we will be rebooking with this kennal again. Thank you all.
Fantastic people and fantastic service, top notch care. Our animals stayed with them for so many days and weeks without a worry
Spoke to Dave to arrange first visit, met Stella on arrival. My dog is very nervous and I was very apprehensive at the thought of leaving him… however the moment he met Stella I was reassure as he took to her straight away. Really happy with the service provided. I will definitely use lodge kennels again.
Thank you so much for looking after our two dogs on such short notice. The first time they have been in kennels, and one is a nervous rescue. Stella was very reassuring and kept us upto date via WhatsApp. We will definitely use you for our next vacation.
Stella and David at The Lodge look after our little Jazzy (Toy Jack Russell) so well. He’s such a particular little dog and has his own little ways which they always take into account. Have always found them both so kind and caring and they always make him feel safe and calm and he loves going now he’s got over his initial separation anxiety. He gets taken into the paddock separately to play and roam as they know he’s not keen on other dogs. He gets his claws trimmed and his own little end suite in the kennel as requested. The contact is always good when if we text or call to check on him, it’s always a lovely welcome and the radio really calms him down too. We have always been able to take him down with his own blankets etc and settle him in too rather than just dropping him off at reception. It’s clean and safe and you can really see how much they care about the dogs, as well as being so reasonably priced. The times for collection and drop off are really convenient and always some flexibility if your plans change. Thank you Stella and David, we wouldn’t let Jazz stay anywhere else now 🙏🥰 xx
Amazing place. Took the pup and the family to see the place before booking. Definitely will be booking for our next holidays!
Used the kennels for the first time, for 3 days for my two dogs. Have booked again, for a week's stay, end of March. Stella and David really care for their furry guests, which puts you at ease. Lovely people, who are happy to talk to you during their guests' stay, to make sure everyone is happy. My two were all over Stella, when I picked them up, which tells me everything.
Absolutely love this kennels for my 5 Labradors. When we relocated I left my babies with these lovely people at Lodge for 6 weeks and when we collected them you could see how much they adored Stella and Dave. They looked amazing, they were happy and full of life!! We have used The Lodge every time we go away now and the poochies run in with no problems. Fantastic kennels ❤️
The jewel in the crown of doggy day care. Fantastic place and people! To me the most important thing is trust and I certainly have it with this lady. She is wonderful with the dogs and is knowledgeable and caring. You are lucky if you've got your pride and joy here!!!
Perfect place for your dog. Your pooch will be looked after and safe in this friendly family environment. Only problem is your pooch may not want to come home 😉 …
The dogs live it here They always come home happy and exhausted.
