Joanna gave our dog the best couple of days. Her response to messages was amazing and during our holiday we received wonderful photos and video’s. Thoroughly recommend Haddon Pet Services.
I would highly recommend All Paws Pet Services! Annabelle did a fantastic job of looking after my cats when I was on holiday and was quick to respond to messages and available at short notice. When I returned from holiday the plants were watered and the cats happy. I'll certainly contact All Paws Pet Services next time I'm away. Thanks! 😊
Dawn and Mark offer a fantastic friendly service. Mark gave training advice catering to my level and delivered it in such an easy to understand way. He helped me reposition my thoughts surrounding raising a puppy and really improved my relationship with my dog. Dawn managed to squeeze me pup into her very busy schedule and has been grooming her for close to a year with no issues. Whenever my pup arrives she is thrilled to see Dawn, which I think is a great indication of the affection Dawn shares with animals. Dawn and Mark are an altogether reliable, affordable and lovely pair that I will miss once I move!
I've just finished puppy training and would highly recommend Mark. He has extensive knowledge of all breeds and makes the classes interesting and fun. Dawn also regularly trims my pups nails. They both provide an amazing service.
Dawn does a brilliant job clipping our poodle, great job everytime. Totally recommend her.
Absolutely brilliant groomer. Dawn is amazing with my nervous dog, and he always looks incredible after visiting her.
Meadow Pets is an exceptional pet care service that took care of my two cats, Saki and Moon, while I was away. I couldn't have been more pleased with the level of care they received. From the moment I contacted Meadow Pets, I knew my cats were in good hands. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they took the time to get to know Saki and Moon's individual personalities and needs. They made sure to keep me updated throughout their stay, sending me photos and updates on how they were doing. When I returned home, I found my cats happy and healthy. It was clear that they had received plenty of attention and affection during their stay with Meadow Pets. Their litter box was clean, their food and water bowls were full. Overall, I would highly recommend Meadow Pets to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet care service. Abi and Phil go above and beyond to ensure that your pets are well taken care of, and they provide excellent communication throughout the entire process. Thank you, Meadow Pets, for taking such great care of Saki and Moon!
Meadow Pets are absolutely wonderful. I can’t recommend them enough. Hands down the best pet sitters in Didcot! I have a rescue cat who is incredibly anxious, is prone to stress related illness and has allergies too. I was very nervous about leaving him for a few days but it turned out I didn’t need to worry at all. Abi and Phil came to visit us before we went away so they could get to know Charlie’s personality and routine. They left a form for me to fill out to gather every important bit of information about him. They took all of the information to heart and it was obvious that they’d actually listened to me and read the form. I felt confident that Charlie - and by extension our house - was being left in good hands. Their communication was excellent. I received updates after every single visit to let me know how Charlie was getting on - down to whether he’d eaten and used the litter box. The photographs were all Instagram worthy and had the most adorable captions. I thought that Charlie was going to hide during every visit but thanks to the kindness and understanding of Phil he came out to play and have strokes after the very first time he came round! If you met Charlie you’d know that’s no small feat. I was so happy. The price charged was incredibly reasonable. They cared for Charlie as if he was their own pet. When we came home Charlie was very happy. Everything was clean and in its place. I won’t have to worry about leaving town any more because I’ll book Meadow Pets and use their pet sitting service every time! I’m so glad that we found them.
Rudy had a fabulous stay at Pet Whisperers hotel for 11 nights. We had regular updates, videos and pictures of our Boy, all were really appreciated! We could relax knowing that our boy was well looked after and constantly stimulated during the day, tired and comfortable during the night. We would recommend Pet Whisperers to take care of your four legged family member while you are on holiday.
Oxford Pet Whisperers are an exceptional team of caring and dedicated professionals whom I completely trust with our puppy. The heartwarming videos they share on Instagram always brighten my day, showing all the happy dogs playing and enjoying themselves. They provide a wide range of activities and enrichment experiences, and you can even book additional services like baths, tail trims, and full grooming. Amber absolutely loves her time with them and has grown so much more confident since she started attending. I would highly recommend Oxford Pet Whisperers to anyone looking to enhance their puppy’s socialisation. Or to anyone needing day care facilities due to work schedules.
Our golden retriever Ella is a regular daycare visitor and this year we tried the doggy hotel facilities for the first time. It gave us peace of mind as we knew she will be comfortable knowing all staff and environment, and she absolutely loved it, I don't think she was very impressed when we turned up to pick her up 5 days later, she wanted to carry on with the fun! We had a couple of updates on how she is getting on which was lovely to have. And you can see what your pup is up to during the days on Instagram account. Would definitely recommend this over regular kennels!
Lovely introduction. The business has an amazing concept with everything to make the dogs and the owners happy. So much space and all is clean and safe. Even the air gets filtered. My dog didn't want to come with me home after 30 minutes there.
once again Oxford pet whisperer have outdone themselves my little baby Frenchie had the time of his life actually came back with some extra manners. They also managed to squeeze me in a short note as I had to go away thank you very much for everything you’ve done.
We booked our dog in for a puppy groom last year. We looked online and saw that it was going to cost £10 but were surprised by hidden charges and ended up paying around £35-£40. The female groomer was not friendly towards our dog and did not even ask for his name, then was rude when we arrived back a few minutes late to collect him. He did not look well groomed and certainly did not look happy in his post groom photo (see pic). Upon returning home we found out why as the groomer had cut him under the eye and did not tell us. It looked like she had just washed the wound and covered it up. Luckily it did not become infected. We were very displeased and frankly disgusted with the service but due to other factors in life getting in the way at the time we never reached out to Oxford Pet Whisperers, hence the late review. We would certainly not return nor recommend their services to anyone else.
From the start, they have been very accommodating, professional and so friendly! We love the amount of time our pup gets to play and socialise with her friends as well as the first week report card and ongoing photos we can see on social media during her visits! A really well-run and dog centric business who we will be sure to continue to use 👍🏻
All I can say is that this company provides a fantastic service - my 16 week Frenchie had the time of his life playing and mixing with the other dog and staff. thanks for all the support and kindness you gave to my little boy.
Thank you so much for another fabulous groom on Friday. The family commented on how silky soft his coat was and he smelt fabulous. Teddy is so happy at OPW he goes off happily and comes home content and in need of a good long snooze. Having a bath/groom at OPW is a must, especially if the children/grandchildren are home for the weekend as Teddy looks and smells great. Roll on his Christmas groom . This is Teddy asking the cats to smell his lovely clean coat.
Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Jamie, Natalie and the team are amazing. I’ve been sending my dog Cooper to oxford pet whisperers for a year and a half now since he was a puppy and I wouldn’t dream of using any other daycare/dog walking service. They are experts in their field and take such good care of Cooper. He comes home tired out for the evening after a day at daycare and as soon as I turn the corner in to the car park to drop him off, he gets so excited! The pick up and play service is great too as it allows me to be a lot more flexible with work! The daily updates on Instagram are fantastic as it allows you to see what your dogs been getting up to in the day. Couldn’t give a more glowing review ⭐️
Lynette takes wonderful care of my cat and guinea pigs while I’m away! Such lovely pictures and updates for my peace of mind too. Perfect!
Claire and her terrific team have always done a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I highly recommend them!
Our lovely Molly has grown in confidence over the years she has been walking with Claire and her brilliant team. She looks forward to hearing Claire come through the gate and does a crazy little dance every week - couldn't have asked for a better service or better care. Molly has also loved her mini breaks with Claire - highly recommended.
Claire and her team are friendly, reliable, trustworthy & you can tell they really care about the animals they look after. My dog gets just as much love & attention with Claire as he does at home, with the added benefit of lots of lovely walks! The photo updates I get are great too. I would recommend Outward Hounds to anyone.
I would 100% recommend Claire and Outward Hounds Dog Walking and Pet Services. Claire’s passion for the service she provides is clear to see from first meeting her. She offers such a unique personal service and cares for each dog as if they were her own. She is a god send!
Outward Hounds provide a great service, dogs always come home happy, tired and clean! They love their walks with Claire and it's obvious she loves the dogs she works with. Would highly recommend.
Cody has really enjoyed going out on his walks with Clare and other team members at Outward Hounds. Mixing with other dogs as well has been brilliant as part of his social and ongoing training. Clare's upbeat personality, reassurance and no nonsense attitude has really helped with this and she takes everything in her stride! Thank you :)
We feel so lucky to have found Outward Hounds for our dog. Exceptional day care service and walks. We wouldn’t trust our dog with anyone else. He gets so much love and attention, always coming home happy, tired and fulfilled. Would highly, highly recommend.
Perfect example of a personal service. The team are great, our pup gets a really good walk (often for much longer than we expect). They accommodate us last minute when needed for busy days at work. My only worry is he likes them more than us :)
We have used outward hounds for nearly a year now Claire and the team are extremely professional give great communication and are good value for money I would highly recommend their services.
Excellent service. Cares so much for all our animals, including 4 dogs and 2 chickens. Very trustworthy and professional. I'm so glad we've found Little Paws.
We have been using Little Paws to do puppy visits and short walks for our new puppy. Carla is always punctual and I love getting a photo / video from every visit. She has been great at giving Raffie lots of different experiences - playing in the garden, walk to the park, training on the long lead, walking with one of her own dogs etc. I am more than happy to recommend Little Paws and will be using them for doggy day care and home boarding in the future.
We checked our dog Basil in for day care recently. We were nervous as it was his first time away from us but Carla reassured us. She did an amazing job with him, introduced him to her dogs and kept us updated via WhatsApp with messages and videos. Would definitely reccomend!
If you have a dog who needs day care or a boarding service - this is the place you want to send them, The lady that runs it is very nice and polite , the dogs have a very nice time here! And they have a big garden witch the dogs can run around 👍 they deserve the 5 star ! …
Our little dog Mabel, 9 year old terrier of this parish has enjoyed staying with Carla and her family in the past and is now very excited that she will now stay in a 4* doggy hotel 🐕🦴🐕🦴 …
Highly recommend Little Paws great service very professional and looked after our dog Spot for 3 weeks whilst I was in Bali, we got regular updates and our guy had a great time !
I cannot recommend Nicolle and Purdy's paws enough! We've been with Nicolle for around a year now, since our girl Ripley was old enough to start walks. It was difficult to find the right person to trust with our girl, but Nicolle gave us great vibes right from the start. She's more than familiar with working breeds, and can tolerate my very boisterous and bouncy collie mix. Never mind the walking- the photos and videos are priceless! Ripley is so excited every time Nicolle arrives, she barks the neighbourhood down! They've been on great adventures together, and Rips always comes home happy and tired :) Ripley was recently spayed and Nicolle has been such an amazing support, helping to slowly get her back to her usual activity levels. 100% recommended.
Nicolle does a wonderful job with our two beagles and they really love their Paddock Play time. Highly recommended!
Nicolle is fantastic & very accommodating.Pooch absolutely adores her & loves making new friends. Highly recommended
Nicolle is so great with our dog Pascal and he absolutely loves going on walks with her!
Can’t recommend enough, always on time for every walk, and makes sure she has plenty of pictures of my fur babies so I can see what trouble he has been causing he always comes back shattered which is just what you want when you have a border collie.
Fantastic service and a general love for animals! Would highly recommend
