Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan & Nataki
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly & Thomas
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian & Susan
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Joel and Esme
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!
Melina
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Adrienne
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Alexis
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Sean
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Nancy
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Hannah & Dominic
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Bridget
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!

If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.

Would definitely recommend. Had the dog stay here a couple of times now (including over Christmas) and he’s been well looked after.
I would highly recommend The Barkary to anyone looking for dog boarding. I took my bulldog Ozzy and he has absolutely come home so happy and energetic. Staff are so lovley and have posted many pictures on facebook to keep me updated with what he has been up too. Thankyou so much for looking after Ozzy and we will be returning again, wouldn't use any other dog boarding anymore.
Always have my dog stay here because I know she is taken care of with the staff and the environment. When I pick her up the staff are sad to see her go but that just proves that they truly care for the dogs they look after. They also post on the Facebook which is a nice way to check up and see how your body is doing - spoiler alert they’re having the time of their life.
Couldn't be happier with the services, I've had both my dogs in the kennels multiple times and the youngest attends daycare. They are loved by Carolyn and all the staff just as much as they are by me, they are always excited to go and gutted to leave! Would give 10 stars if I could.
Millie was enjoying her holiday at the Barkery boarding kennels, I knew she was in good hands
My dog adores this place....... he is so happy to get out of the car and see his mates! The team at the barkery really get to know your dog and there special needs. To be honest I look at the pics and I'm jealous of the fun he has... its a dogs life 😁 …
Would highly recommend the barkary. My dog has just come home from his first long stay and looks really well, he wasn't stressed when we picked him up. I love how the dogs are looked after to suit their individual personalities. Not lots of dogs boarding which is great. Heated kennels. The owner gets to know the dogs really well and the girls work so hard xx
Went for a visit yesterday and thought it looked really good and staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. All dogs there looked happy comfortable and well cared for
We have been taking our dog Winnie to doggy daycare at the Barkary for the past few weeks and she's loved it. Carolyn is fantastic with the dogs and makes sure they're happy and well looked after, I can't recommend her enough. Winnie always comes back very tired after a great day of playing with the other dogs!
Our dogs love this place, a working farm they get plenty of walks and playtime, good indoor heated kennels, Recommended.

This review has been long overdue. Marisa has taken care of our cockerpoo puppy since November and there is no-one else we would trust more with his care. He is a regular daycarer and has stayed overnight on a few occasions. We are worry free when leaving him knowing that he is getting both the care and the training he needs to be the best canine companion. One to one training was also great for setting us on the right path with our pooch.
Brilliant place for doggy care, overnight stays, holidays, training, advice, everything yoh could possibly need for your canine friend.
I would highly recommend.

We decided it would be good for our dog Spot to have one day a week to interact with other dogs. She has so much fun with Tracey and burns up all her energy playing with her new doggy friends. Always sleeps well when she gets back home. Tracey obviously loves the dogs in her care we wouldn't take Spot anywhere else.
Well what a fabulous couple. We didn't want to put our pooch into kennels so searched the web for a dog sitter and came across Tracy and Fari. Felt really comfortable after the first meeting and arranged a 9 night stay with them (for our dog not us !! ) They have a genuine affinity with dogs which is clear to see. My husband hadn't got back home before we had a video clip which really did put our minds at rest and I especially felt happy that our precious pet was going to be very well looked after and go on holiday without worrying. We had regular video clips throughout our holiday and I used to look forward to viewing them as we did miss him as he is such a big part of our family. We were blown away how happy he seemed and were concerned he wouldn't want to come home !! Tracy is very experienced in looking after dogs and even trained Fudge to catch treats which we have kept up ! ! I do not normally recommend but on this occasion I have raved about Tracy and Fari. We won't hesitate to book again in future .. thank you for looking after our Fudgey !!!
Oh my Tracey is amazing, this was my dog first time and at 11 he is set in his ways a bit, but was so happy staying here, he is booked in again in May, Tracey sent me videos of him, really put my mind at rest that he was in a safe, secure and loving environment, would definitely recommend.
A brilliant place, I wouldn’t go anywhere else and neither would Meg, she loves being with Tracy.
Tracy is fantastic with our dogs. Great service
Thank you!

We had an outstanding experience with Petpals! Leaving our two bunnies in their care was the best decision. The daily updates with adorable pictures not only brightened our day but also reassured us that our furry friends were in excellent hands. The genuine love and attention they provided made our trip stress-free, knowing our bunnies were receiving top-notch care. Highly recommend Petpals for their professionalism and the extra mile they go to keep pet parents connected and worry-free! Best wishes to everyone at Petpals. Love from Joyce and Pedro, and from Snoopy and Deku.
We recently moved to the area from Sweden and one of the first things we knew we needed was to find someone to watch our two cats if we were away. After looking into a few different services where you bring your pet to a location, my husband stumbled on Petpals Darlington & Yarm. We were happy to find a service where people would come to our house rather than us having to take the cats somewhere as travelling can be very stressful for animals. From the beginning, our interactions with the staff at Petpals D&Y was really wonderful - everyone we spoke to was lovely and helpful, and setting up an initial meeting with Jill was quick, easy, and hassle-free. We went on holiday to visit my in-laws over the Christmas period and despite the awkward time of year to work, it was clear from the daily updates that everyone who came to look in on them didn't shirk out on giving our cats time and attention. They seemed knowledgeable about cats - with Jill pegging their breed within a few minutes of meeting them, even, despite it not being a common breed in the UK - and we were assured that if the cats were to become ill that they work directly with a specific cat veterinarian in the area that they would bring them to if necessary. Overall we felt very safe and confident leaving our animals (and access to our home) in their care. We loved the daily updates in particular, with pictures, and when we returned it was to two super happy cats who seemed more calm than anxious. Staff from Petpals D&Y even left them a little Christmas gift that they went crazy for 😂😍. Best petsitting service I've ever used. The price is very reasonable - cheaper than services where you bring your animals somewhere where they'll probably mostly be in cages all day - and setting up dates for them to watch the cats is incredibly easy. Will absolutely be using them again for future trips, short and long, and would 100% recommend for people who are a bit anxious about leaving their furry family members behind on holiday, work trips, etc.
I can't speak highly enough of the service provided by Petpals. While we are away we know our 2 cats are in great hands. They get a visit every day. Litter cleaned and water refreshed. Then they will get a little play time and some one on one attention. Shortly after we receive an email detailing all the exciting events that have happened and a lovely collage of our little kitties. It's something we genuinely look forward to each day we are away. Thank you so much.
This is the second time I've used Petpals and once more I cannot recommend them highly enough. I came back from a long holiday to a content, settled and well looked after cat!! Rachel has been great with him, following his routines, playing with him and making sure he had his cuddles. I loved seeing the photos and reading her daily reports that were making me feel like I was there for a moment. I could tell he has in good hands!!
I did not expect the level of care, attention and obvious affection shown to my pretty independant cat whilst I was away on holiday; Rachel sent me daily reports along with lovely photos, not only did she feed him but she spent time playing with him, grooming him and cleaning him up too when needed as he is long haired. Rachel took the time to tell me how he was on interaction too, playful, mischievous . And on top of that she cleaned his bowls and took all the pouches away for recycling. A really fantastic service all round and I wholeheartedly recommend Petpals to everyone who owns a pet.
Cannot recommend this service enough! My little nervous dog has totally come out of her shell since starting group walks with the dogs, she is picked up and dropped off and absolutely loves all the dog walkers! Also extremely accommodating if I need an extra short notice walk!! Many thanks to the petpals team, smashing it! 👌 …
I cannot recommend Petpals Darlington enough for the care and attention they gave our two cats during our recent family holiday. I was extremely panicked when we first went away as I've never had our cats looked after by anyone other than family and friends but Jill calmed my nerves and even checked the GPS tracking to ensure our cats were being attended to as planned. Our two were attended to by Rachel and then Patricia during our week away and both ladies were fabulous with them. We have a sickly youngster but both ladies cleaned up after her with no bother! Our cats were fed, litter scooped, clean water and most importantly played with and given valuable outdoor time in their catios. The daily service reports with photos were excellent and wherever we were adventuring on the island, we all stopped to hear the daily updates! We arrived home tonight to happy, content cats, clean litter, filled bellies and a lovely card. Thank you to Jill, Rachel and Patricia for treating my two cats so well and with so much care. Thoroughly Recommend 😊
A very professional service from the beginning. Good assessments done with my fog prior to at services being agreed. I've used their walking service regularly and they have a portal that's easy to update if anything changes with your dog. I've also recently used their dog sitting service. We were paired with a lovely man who I think spoiled my girl more than I do. He was a superstar!! I love that they give you a short report after every walk & lovely photos. It is so reassuring to see that your dog is well looked after. The same with the dog boarding - daily photos & updates. I would highly recommend their services.
I can’t speak highly enough about Petpals, their service and their team. As a business owner and a single man I can’t always be home as regularly or consistently as I ought to be for Edwin, but Petpals are always there and look after him as though he were one of their own. Whether that be daily walks, boarding when I am away or even any behavioural challenges he might present. It is great to have such trusted and competent people in my/ our corner. Thank you
I recently used Petpals dog walking service for my two dogs, Eli and Ada, while I was away on holiday. I could not recommend Petpals high enough, they took brilliant care of both my dogs, they sent regular updates and photographs and I had total piece of mind that my dogs were having as much fun as I was. Thankyou Sam, Clare and Diane for your top notch work 😊🐶

We have used Susan a few times to look after our two dogs, they are always well looked after, the accommodation is very good for them and good prices too.
We always use Susan to board our dogs and wouldn't use anyone else. She sends regular updates and trust her completely with our two, despite them being more challenging than your regular dogs as one is dog reactive and nervous with people.
Susan has been walking my dog daily for the last 6 days and i cant fault her at all... shes extremelly good at getting too you for the time she gives you, shes extremelly pleasant and polite, she has been taking my dog out for 40 mins each walk and has been out for the full 40 mins, when she comes back she says where shes walked too and every day says to contact her the next morning if i need her... and her rate is worth every penny... i would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a good dog walker...
Professional, attentative and accomadating to requests. Great service.

Our two standard poodles stayed here and they seemed to love it. They shared a cottage which was perfect for them, we will definitely be back again.
My 5 dogs have just had there holiday here in total luxury and by the look of them they've had a blast great place great staff top notch thank you and now there new holiday home
We have two German shepherds who are both about 2 years old and had never stayed overnight in kennels but after looking at various kennels and reading reviews including a recommendation from a friend we booked them in at 4 paws for one night / 2 days to see how they settled. The staff were amazing and kept us updated on how they had settled including sending photos. They both had an amazing time thanks to all the staff we will soon be booking them in for a longer stay.
My rescue Lurcher loves 4 paws farm. She leave me without a care and goes happily with the fantastic kennel staff. She has a great time and I feel totally confident with her care. Running with the pack is a joy. Thank you.
What a wonderful place! I was so nervous to leave our anxious lurchers in kennels for the first time. They've both had a brilliant experience, and made lots of doggy friends
I love this place,after looking for somewhere to look after my very anxious nd scared 4yr old Cross Harley.Went for a trail of day care to an overnight stay and the difference in him with confidenceis amazing,He still as some way to go but to be told that he actually played with other dogs is just amazing,he will be back soon.The staff are just fabulous with him and we'll taken care of.Very clean and very professional from telephone calls to bringing him home. Thank you.
Best kennels I've been to. They are brilliant with my dog who is nervous and wary meeting new people. By the time I went to pick him up after his second time there he didn't mind being fussed and even let the lady put his harness on. I could see he was relaxed! If you are looking for a great kennel, with great staff who will definitely look after your dog whatever their needs then this is the place to come to! I love seeing the pictures of him playing in the fields that they post via their Facebook page.
I booked my three dogs into the penthouse for a few days when we went away. I am really happy with the level of care they received, the accommodation was really nice and they got plenty of walks, every day, off their lead in a big secure field with other compatible dogs. They appear to have had a great time. When I picked them they were pleased to see me but they definitely didn't appear to be stressed out or nervous, they did sleep a lot for the first few days..... No doubt recovering from all the exercise they got. We have booked them back in for another 2 visits this year. I would highly recommend 4 paws farm! Thanks again, Loki, Draco and Boots are looking forward to their next visit :)
Had a lovely visit here this afternoon. Very large private field completely secure for offlead dogs. The field is well looked after and the self serve cafe and picnic table outside was a really nice treat, sitting in the sunshine with a coffee while watching the dogs enjoy the field. We will be returning
Just picked our dog up today after spending 8 nights at 4 Paws Farm. We worried about putting him in kennels as he is only 10 months old but we needn’t have worried. He has been really well looked after and well exercised, he has come back such a happy dog. Photos on Facebook over the week helped us to see how much he was enjoying himself. All of the staff are very friendly and know what they are doing. I would not hesitate to recommend 4 Paws Farm to anyone considering putting their pets into kennels. The posh wash is also recommended, he smells great.

We've been taking our dogs to Amanda's kennels for years. The dogs always come back happy and well. Amanda clearly loves dogs and she's always been very helpful. I thoroughly recommend these kennels.
Amanda is amazing! She’s so lovely and helpful. Our dog goes to day care here every day while we’re at work and he loves it! He jumps with excitement in the car every morning and loves to see Amanda! He stays over when we’re away and we always know he’s safe & well kept. The kennels are heated, he has plenty of space and he gets plenty of exercise. He’s very happy there. It’s not expensive and she’s always willing to have him no matter how last minute it is. Would highly recommend!
My cat Clotilde has stayed there 5 times since 2018 and I have always been happy with the caring and friendly owner Amanda. I recommend it highly and will also Kennel my dog there soon for his 1st time! Great!!
Amanda is fantastic. Our border collie molly loves her stays here. She always gets plenty of excerise and attention. This is our second border collie that has her holidays here. Would definitely recommend
my dog stayed here for 10 days while i was away , and he really enjoyed it . Both ladies where brilliant very professional. Would recommend and would choose these again
Always use this kennels and Cattery such a happy place no fuss. Animals are well cared for in clean comfortable and warm pens. Staff are so welcoming and helpful.
I called last minute and Amanda was fully booked but still managed to accommodate my gorgeous boy. For some reason my previous rating showed one star when actually it should be 5 star plus. Have used these kennels for 17 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Fantastic service and 5 star plus care 😊 …
Fantastic .Amanda is amazing and my little George so happy there 😊 …

This is the 2nd time we have used the services of Barking Mad & once again it has been a great experience. We had a few reservations, as our Pug Lola is now 12 years old & virtually blind. Joanne placed her with a lovely couple Val & Colin who looked after Lola with the same love & care that she receives at home with us - she even went to their caravan (we were asked our permission first) & were sent some great photos during her stay. When she returned, it was obvious she had been very settled with her Foster Family. I would, without hesitation recommend Joanne & Barking Mad Durham.
Bailey - the nervous Newfoundland From beginning to end my experience with Barking Mad was excellent. When I first contacted my local representative I explained about my 18 month old Newfoundland being a very nervous dog - even more so because of Covid restrictions we haven't been able to go far for the last few months. Joanne came to meet Bailey and walk with him to see the type of situations which made him nervous. She offered and overnight stay before our holiday. This really put my mind at ease. Throughout the holiday Joanne kept in touch sending us photos of Bailey. She really met his needs, getting a paddling pool out for him on the hot days, using the 'blaster' hair dryer and brushing him daily . He returned to us with his coat in excellent condition. She'd obviously spent a lot of time on his daily groom. I would highly recommend doggy holidays with Barking Mad.They had all safety measures in place for Covid.
I was a bit hesitant too about not meeting hosts where Floyd was going to stay but after meeting Joanne I had complete faith and trust in her As advised by her Floyd had his trial overnight stay before we went on our main holiday and he was absolutely fine and loved by the hosts.Joanne provides a first class service not only for Floyd but also the owners, thanks so much to the service , confidence and reassurance you provide so dog owners can have a restful, carefree and relaxing holiday knowing that their beloved pet is well cared for. Thanks again Joanne and Barkingmad dogs .
We never really settled boarding our last dog, who sadly passed recently, so when the new pup arrived we looked for dog sitting and found Barking Mad. Their service is top shelf stuff. Home visit to gather info. Dog placed with foster parents that suit the dogs needs. A bio of people and place that will be looking after your dog. We also got daily photo updates which are very reassuring. Collection and delivery of dog and all his shackles. Joanne from Barking mad took care of everything. We cant falt her or the service. And a special thank you to Opie's foster parents (wont name them here). Our dog came back very happy after his deer stalking holiday :)
This is a great 5* Trustpilot rated service. Your pets are in safe hands with Karen who takes great care in matching the perfect host family to your beloved furry friend. You can go on holiday in the knowledge that your dog will receive home from home care with lots of cuddles and walks.
I haven't used Barking mad but I got in touch and learned that we don't get to see where finn stays , I just find that odd ..I would never send him anywhere unless I'd checked it out first
