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.
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 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!
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 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 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 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!
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 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.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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!
Very friendly. First time putting the dog in the kennels for a week. We would get the occasional video from them to show she is happy and playing with other dogs. They feed the dogs very good high quality food. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for keep our dog relaxed and happy. 110% recommended
I can't speak highly enough of this kennel! It's truly a gem for pet owners. Their 24/7 availability has been a lifesaver for my family and our beloved Labrador. Life is unpredictable, and knowing that we have a trusted, local business ready to take care of our furry friend at a moment's notice is incredibly reassuring. The staff's flexibility and willingness to accommodate last-minute needs have been nothing short of impressive. Every time we drop off our dog, we are confident he is in good hands, receiving the best care possible. A heartfelt thank you to the team for their outstanding service and dedication to our pet's well-being. Highly recommend to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care for their pets!
Woofstock is amazing! Our beagle has been to number of kennels but woofstock is by far the best and we will stick with them from now on. Their facilities are clean, they have a huge paddock where the dogs can play. They have plenty of play time and walks. You can leave your dog here at ease. 100% recommend to anyone.
I cannot recommend Woofstock Kennels highly enough. Over the past month, we had a wedding and a holiday. Romeo, our 10 month old Labrador is a challenging/lively pup. This was the first time we had left him, and the staff at Woofstock were nothing but amazing. Special thanks to Joan who’s communication And understanding of a difficult situation we was in, she took away all of our stress and worries and kept me up to date with cute photos of our fur baby. Thank you and if you are looking for a kennel, I would Highly recommend.
Friendly efficient staff! Taz loves it there, and we can relax knowing he's safe.
Joan is absolutely brilliant, I always use Woofstock for my German Shepherd. He has been multiple times, the kennels are always clean and you can tell the dogs are extremely well cared for. He always leaves very happy! I would 100% reccommend
Very friendly and they put our puppy (Louie) at ease. It was his first visit at a kennels. He absolutely loved the owner after his stay. Would highly recommend & would definitely use again without any hesitation. Lovely kennels, beautiful surroundings & lovely owner.
Very good kennels I use them multile times a year my dog loves going there. The owners take good care of my dog . Would recommend to anyone.
Joan is amazing! My Doggo was happy, and I was calmed with my anxiety on my first day for my Dog to be at hers!
Used twice now and already booked for a third time. Dog has always come back happy and healthy. What more could you ask for!!
My rats got on well with Lian, which was the evident by them being relaxed and curious on my return. Lian also took good care of and medicated my epileptic rat twice daily. I can now plan the next holiday in peace, knowing that my rats will be well looked after.
Fantastic service. I cannot recommend them enough. You can tell Jason lovesanimals and the animals love him too. My cat is a shy cat who does not like meeting new people but within 24 hours of Jason coming to feed her she really took to him.. I was provided with daily updates pics and videos of how Pepper was doing. Jason did everything thing we asked of him and we will definitely be using Fir and Feathers in future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our Pepper. It was a great weight off our minds as its the first time we've gone on holiday and left her.
Highly recommend Fur and Feathers Small Animal Boarding. They went above and beyond to look after our tortoise while we were on holiday even buying a heat pad and a new lamp for the winter as well as putting plants in the enclosure to make it feel more natural. They also sent regular updates and photos so we were always reassured. The fees are very low considering the quality of care provided. 10/10 service.
We recently used Fur & Feathers to look after our 2 Guinea pigs whilst we went on our family holiday. The service that Amey and David provided was exceptional and they welcomed our 2 Guinea pigs into their family. It was a lovely family friendly environment and I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. Thank you Amey and David for looking after Biscuit and Blackjack.
Our rabbits spent a week here, Lianne was brilliant sending regular updates over the week. They looked really happy and content when we picked them up will definitely use again.
You can tell Lian is really loves animals, our rabbits (Harry and Pearl) always seem to enjoy their stay. I wonder if they ever really want to come home!!
Wow what a find this place is an absolutely amazing find our little rats had the best time. Would highly recommend
A great friendly place to leave my tortoise. Will definitely be using again
Very caring proprietor. Animals well cared for. Couldn't want better. Highly recommend.
Brilliant boarding for our chickens!
Friendly owners, friendly staff, both our dogs are always happy to go and come home just as happy. Well organised pick up and drop off arrangements. Feel very happy and confident our dogs are safe and secure when there. Wouldn't go anywhere else now.
We have just picked up our beautiful German Shepherd Dog (GSD) from Collaton Kennels. She spent her first week here. She went in a week ago without a backward glance to her mummy and was equally excited to see us when we got back. The staff said that she was a well behaved dog and not like other GSD. That made me feel so great. She smelled so good too, as well as her bedding was cleaned. So impressed with the staff too. They are so committed to caring so well for her. I highly recommend them. Previously my dog had stayed in another boarding kennels over the past four years and this was the best experience for my dog out of all of those.
It was the second time my dog had stayed there. He was very happy to go in and excited to see us come back. He was bathed, and his blankets were washed. Staff are very friendly and professional. Dogs are exercised off the lead up to 5 times a day. We will be back if our dog needs a kennel again
Our Labrador literally bounds out of the car to get into the office and greet the staff when we arrive. She comes out just as happy even after having a mini spar treatment.
When booking for the first time, no indication of necessary jabs etc that are needed no questions asked, we travelled from abroad and rules are different to UK, I think they need to explain what is needed on booking, I booked over 2wks ago I could of got everything sorted if I'd known sooner, she is now all jabbed up but won't be using these as found very unhelpful
This is the second time our two labs have stayed at Collaton Kennels and they are now booked in for their next holiday. Our younger lab is a little nervous so we always worry about him, which is completely unnecessary as he always looks really happy when we pick him up. There is an added bonus that they always come back smelling lovely which is no mean feat with big dogs. We are very happy to have found this service.
Great kennels, great staff, dogs come first and that is the most important thing. Thank you Linda and team.
Fantastic place! Always friendly and my dog is always well looked after! Thank you!
Our two dogs came back with a definite spring in their step, they loved their stay for 16 nights. Both washed and with cleaned bedding. Staff are fantastic and caring. We wouldn't think twice about them both will be having their doggy holidays there again. Thank you love from Millie and Bella
My dog was clearly relaxed while she was there. We can tell from her behaviour that she has been well looked after. They even washed her and washed her bedding too. To get five stars, I wish they would have emailed me with the booking confirmation though, because relying on a conversation held weeks or months before is a little unsettling. I wish they had sent a photo or two during the couple of weeks she was there as well.
Sammy has just had his first holiday at Maddie's and I can't thank Shelley and her crew enough for making him feel at home from home. He has previously stayed in kennels but he is 8 now and we felt he deserved some comfort while we went on holiday. The pre-stay visits were great for making sure Shelley and the other dogs got to know Sammy, and that he would be comfortable there. And by the time we dropped him off for his holiday, he was chomping at the bit to see his friends again. I didn't once worry that Sammy wasn't ok whilst we were away, as we received daily "pupdates" showing us how he was getting on and what he was up to. We could see from the photos and videos that he was happy and felt safe. The care and attention he received was as good if not better than at home. Before his stay Sammy hadn't really socialised with other dogs and we weren't sure how he would be, but he soon got stuck in at playtime and was leading the walks. I would highly recommend Maddie's and will definitely be booking Sammy in next time we go away.
Before I contacted Maddies home from home I did a lot of research as I had been rushed into hospital in January and had to leave my poor dog at boarding without even seeing it, I was worried the whole time in hospital about my dear little girl and couldn’t wait to collect her and I was determined to find a home from home boarding. I researched several but Maddies came out on top so I contacted Shelley and we meet up for a sniff test with my little girl and the rest of her dogs. Wow how thorough and professional her whole business is. I was very impressed and we arranged a sleepover, I was very anxious to be leaving my girl again but Shelley sent me regular pup dates which put my mind at ease. I was once again taken into hospital so I contacted Shelley to see if she could look after my little girl at short notice and she was there for me again. My stay in hospital was so much better knowing she was being cared for and regular pup dates made my stay in hospital bearable. My little girl loved her stay at Maddies and always had lots to occupy her and lots of walks. I can’t recommend and thank Shelley enough for looking after my little girl it really is home from home.
This was Elsy’s first 2 week stay at Maddie’s and she was so looked after ! Lots of daily updates with videos and photographs. The walks all looked amazing. Shelley was very professional, caring and so loving to Elsy. Really really pleased I found such a brilliant home boarding stay for Elsy to go. Have booked many more stays for her in the coming months. Thank you for all your help and amazing attention to detail.
Teddy is cared for 100%+ whilst I go away on holiday. It's a real home from home boarding. It's peace of mind knowing he is in safe hands. Shelley makes the separation easier for me and Teddy settles. Lots of attention given to the dogs in her care. Walkies, hugs, playtime and groomed. I enjoy the photos and videos sent daily. I collected Teddy after 12 days. He's fit, healthy and no kennel cough. So pleased I was recommended Maddies home boarding & day care. I have never been disappointed. Thank you Maddie & Shelley.
Ninja has been expertly looked after by Shelley for the past three years with a mix of boarding and day care. I now have two dogs that both go regularly and they don't even look back to me when they see Shelley. It really is a home from home with personalised and loving care. Highly recommend!
Shelley and Maddie’s house is doggie heaven. Robbie felt right at home and he was clearly happy to be there. As a nervous Doggy-Mum, Shelley really put me at ease and I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Highly recommended.
Working full time we were a bit stuck when my Mum had an accident and we had to look after her dog, Chester, for a few month's. We couldn't have chosen better with Maddie's. It is certainly a home from home, but even more than that - the dogs get great enrichment, exercise and socialisation everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend Maddie's to anyone looking for doggy care or boarding for their beloved furmily member.
My dog Dylan loves being at Maddie's. He gets 5 star treatment and I love getting regular pup-dates from Shelley. I highly recommend Shelley and wouldn't board Dylan anywhere else!
Our dog loves staying at Maddie's! The service is professional, reliable and responsive and we enjoy receiving updates about our pet when we are away. Highly recommended.
Taking each dogs needs a quirks into consideration, my mind is at ease knowing that Lottie is being well cared for and loved by a true professional.
I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Georgie and family are fantastic. My dog has been going to hers since he was 6 months old. He has now just turned 6. He is treated like family. I trust her implicitly with the care of my dog whilst I’m at work and I know that he has a fabulous time. She is very knowledgable about dogs and always able to offer tips and techniques. My dog suffers with separation anxiety yet he is so happy at Georgie’s surrounded by love and care. She is extremely flexible and accommodating. I wouldn’t leave my dog with anyone else!
Georgia and her parents are super stars. Looked after my old gal with care, patience and love. Kept me updated every day with photos and a little note. The only down side - my dog has come home sulking that she's not seeing all her new friends every day. But I've promised her she will go back again. Thank-you for everything x
They offer high level care for dogs. The are also invested in the development of your dog too and willing to work with you to improve habits and behaviours. They are very knowledgeable about all areas and offer great advice regarding training tips and strategies. Our dog is very happy 😊 …
Amazing home from home dog boarding, my dog loves staying here, and i would recommend to anyone who truly cares about their dog. A*****
Thank you 🤩 …
Thank you 😊 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 …
Such a superb place with staff that our dogs really are comfortable, happy and seem to enjoy being with. Last time I dropped the dogs off, the jumped out the car and headed off to the kennels with their tails wagging, and never looking back! It is great to see them so happy. Also, I was very impressed when we first started using them. The owners suggested a visit to allow us to see the kennels and for them to assess the dogs. They provided a supervised tour of the kennels with nothing hidden which is extremely reassuring. We could see all the dogs were happy and cared for. It also meant that our dogs were comfortable on their first visit!
My rottweiler absolutely loves it here. Sometimes I feel he likes it more than home and doesn't want to leave, wouldn't leave him anywhere else
Always a quick drop off - reasonable pricing and always take good care of the pets. Would definitely recommend 👍 …
My two whippets were there for seven days and came back incredibly skinny. The staff said they had been stealing other dogs food but not bloody surprised. You could see their ribs, spine and hip bones after their stay. They were solid muscle beforehand not overweight in case anyone is wondering. Facilities and staff seemed lovely but can't recommend.
Unprofessional, rude owners. The standard of animal care is appalling and unacceptable. Dogs are left for multiple periods throughout the day with no water or the chance to see daylight. If you are sending your dog here, it will come back a bag of bones!
Our dog loves this place so much. She is always excited to go, and worn out when she comes home (like she's lived her best life). I've tried a few kennels and this one is the best!! It's warm, comforting - a real home from home.
Very nice place very happy cat returned home. Going again in August. Thank you
Appalling is all I can say, our much loved dog was in these kennels for two weeks whilst we had a much needed holiday, when we went to collect him we were horrified at the amount of weight he had lost ,we took him to the vets and he has lost over a kilogram in weight which is hell of a lot in two weeks, he was absolutely starving and ate 3 meals in the time he would normally have 1, I even sent his own meat as the kennels only provide biscuits so goodness knows where that went. I also sent his own freshly laundered bedding which also wasn't used, I know this as it was returned smelling of my fabric conditioner not of a dog which it definitely would have done after two weeks. Our boy is very thin now and we are completely heart broken for him. PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE KENNELS
This was a great cattery for our cat while we were away for a week. They clearly take very good care of the animals they are taking care of.
Our dog Bessie stayed here for 5 days and was really looked after as she is very timid and nervous and the staff were excellent with ,would highly recommend
I highly recommend Tiny Tree Pet Care, my dog loves going and the staff are all very caring. I like the offlead walks offered and also the chill out time in the garden on hot days 😊 …
Joe is extremely friendly and great with dogs. Our shihtzu is always scared of meeting new people and we were so impressed with how well Joe handled him. He’s very responsible, always showed up on time, and kept us up to date via text. Honestly I couldn’t trust anyone more with my dog. We opted for the doggy daycare, and Joe offers pick up and drop of service, which is very convenient. Highly recommend! 5 star service all around.
We’ve been using Joe for the past 3 years for our Whippet. Joe looks after him during the week whilst we are both at work and overnight when we are on holidays. Our dog always comes home in a great mood after socialising with other dogs and getting exercise. Great peace of mind to know that our dog is in great hands with Joe when we can’t be at home. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a dog day care!
We first met Joe when our new puppy was too young to go for walks. Joe came to the house to do a puppy check every day until she was able to go outside. Dottie loves Joe and so do we. Dottie is collected by Joe every weekday and goes off with lots of excitement and a wagging tale for her afternoon walk. We trust Joe completely he is a real dog lover and treats all dogs in his care as if they were his own. When we go on holiday Dottie goes on holiday too, to Joe’s house and loves every minute of it. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without him for the last 5 years. I can’t praise him enough and recommend if you need a dog walker you use Joe at Stone’s Pet Services.
From the moment we met Joe, we knew our dog Bonnie was in great hands. Bonnie was with Joe (both for walks and doggy daycare) since she was a puppy and really looked upon him like family. Joe is extremely professional, friendly, and is clearly very passionate about what he does and cares very much for the dogs he looks after. We really can't recommend Stone's Pet Services enough. A brilliant service all round.
There are not enough words to express how much we would recommend Stone's Pet Services. Joe is one of the nicest people you could meet. He is brilliant with our dog Milo who is a funny little boy at times. Milo loves him and can't wait to get out of the car when we drop him off. Stone's Pet Service is the go to place for your dog walking/day care needs. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our boy Milo.
We have used Stone's Pet Services for years, purely because our dog wouldn't settle in a kennels. He provides a home from home service so that the dogs feel comfortable and at ease whilst you are away. Poppy is always so excited to see him when she is collected and is well looked after! (she is usually a nervy dog). I would definitely recommend this service for people that don't want to leave their dog in a kennels whilst they are away.
We started using Joe when we got our first dog poppy over 3 years ago. As we were first time dog owners we felt hesitant to leave her with anyone but Joe was great. We honestly dont think we could’ve found anyone better. 3 years on and another dog later, we still wouldn’t trust anyone else with our babies. Thank you Joe.
Joe is amazing! He knows how to look after our dog Nehru who can be a bit of a handful at times and even got him to learn a good recall. We never have any concerns leaving our dog with Joe everyday and even give him our house keys so that he can let himself in when we are both at work. Nehru loves him to bits and when we went on holiday he stayed for a few days with Joe (right by his bedside!). Joe also is the one of the most reliable walkers we have come across; even when he is on holiday (for his honeymoon), he tells you well in advance and even suggests alternatives. We can't recommend Joe highly enough.
Joe treats the dogs in his care like one of his own! Our dog Alfie gets all excited when he sees Joe come to pick him up! Great guy and would highly recommend!
Joe obviously loves dogs and my dog Huey adores him. He has been going to Joe for a number of years, and Joe has been responsive to our sometimes last minute need for pet care.. Joe is very reliable.trustworthy and caring
Gary transported our Italian Greyhound puppy this week. I was incredibly impressed with the service from start to finish. Throughout the process Gary was extremely responsive, knowledgable and professional. He communicated regularly with both myself and our breeder and demonstrated a genuine interest in the welfare of our puppy, ensuring that he was kept warm, comfortable and settled during the journey. The added bonuses were that I was able to track his location throughout the transport, his prices were very competitive and he sent us a beautiful photo of our puppy after the journey. Thank you Gary, if I ever needed a pet transported again you would be my first choice and I would have no hesitation action in recommending you to others.
Gary is a fantastic dog walker, our dog absolutely loves his walks with him. Gary will often take amazing photos of Hudson whilst out and about, and will also update us as to his development and behaviour so we know how he’s getting on. Gary is very knowledgeable about dogs and obviously loves spending time with them, and is very patient but firm which is great for us as we’re new to owning a puppy. I would absolutely recommend Gary to anyone needing a trustworthy dog walker.
I used Northampton Dog Walker's pet transport service. Five stars!! Gary is very professional. He picked up my 8 week puppy from Liverpool and delivered to me in London safely. The price is very reasonable. The communication with Gary is very smooth. I would definitely use his service again if I need to and highly recommend him to anyone who needs a safe pet transport.
Gary recently brought our corgi puppy home for us from the breeder in Wales as we couldn't get do him during lockdown. Gary responded very quickly to my initial enquiry, and was flexible on dates to best suit us and the breeder. He was very helpful throughout, sharing information with us and using Google maps to share his live location so we could track progress when we wanted to. Fantastic service at a great price. Would definitely recommend and use his services again! Edit: I should add that puppy of course arrived safely, calm and happy despite a long journey!! Very pleased
Our pup loves his outings with Gary, who clearly knows his stuff and has been really helpful giving us tips for life with a new dog. Gary is always prompt, friendly and really ensures our dog has a happy outing when we’re unable to take him in the day. It’s been great to see the dog develop bonds with other dogs on his walks with Gary, which means he’s growing up really well socialised. Would highly recommend.
Gary walked our dog whilst I was waiting for and recovering from a hip operation. He was reliable, friendly, calm and thoroughly knowledgable about anything to do with looking after dogs. The photos he took of my dog were beautiful, top quality...this was an added extra that just happens to be his hobby. I can highly recommend his service . He is so accommodating and flexible. If I need the other hip replacing ( hope not) I will be back on the phone !!!
We have two large lively dogs who have really warmed to Gary. He came to our home to meet the boys a few times before even considering taking them out. He produced up to date DBS and insurance certificates without even being asked. Our boys have very different personalities and enjoy doing different things when they are out and Gary is very attentive to this. He sends me updates after every walk and has taken some gorgeous photographs of them (of which he had asked prior permission). As well as all this, he is great value for money! I would highly recommend him. Sadie Howton
I have had Zena walking my dog Fleur when I had to start going back into London working. Fleur loves Zena and always looks forward to her walks, whether it’s out with other dogs or just a 121 walk, Zena makes it fun for the dogs in her care. During the recent heat wave, Zena collected Fleur early each day to ensure she and the other dogs being walked were out before the day got too hot but also made sure that each day their walk was round water ensuring they were able to cool down if getting hot. I also get regular videos and pictures of Fleurs walks. A very professional and excellent service which I have no hesitation in recommending. Helen
Zena walks our dog Oscar on a regular basis. We are at a stage of which Oscar knows her name too well and is over the moon when she arrives. He is basically in love! Oscar is a lovely Lab who is absolutely full of beans and excitable by nature. Zena has been amazing with him. She helped him to gain confidence and he now enjoys walking with other dogs. Thank you Zena and Northampton Dog Walker, I would highly recommend.
Gary was excellent from the moment I called to enquire to the moment we picked our dog Thomas up. We had been let down by a dog sitter who was due to have our dog over Easter weekend and we only had a few days to make alternative arrangements. Gary was friendly and professional when I rang to enquire about availability and after checking the dates, rang me straight back to confirm. We were welcomed to visit with Thomas to ensure it felt right. Thomas was able to meet Archie (the family dog) and suss out the home. It was clear that Thomas would be happy there. On the day we dropped Thomas off Gary went through questions with us about Thomas and really made us feel sure he would be looked after well. Gary emailed several times over the weekend to update us on how he was getting on. Alongside the emails, we were sent beautiful photographs of Thomas which were a really lovely extra. We picked Thomas up and it was clear that he had been well cared for and had felt really comfortable. We would highly recommend the services of The Northampton Dog Walker and will be using Gary the next time we go away. Thank you so much.
Just got home from a child’s 7th birthday party which Andrea was booked for the animal encounter experience. What can I say other than she was amazing! Very friendly, spoke to the children well and engaged with them. Very knowledgeable on the animals she had with her and allowing the children and adults to hold/stroke or just admire from a safe distance. A really enjoyable hour and my son loved it. I’d highly recommend this to others!
Andrea is extremely efficient and flexible assisting us twice now and this last time at extremely short notice. She attends to the needs of our multiple animals with a confident ease which includes love and attention. Andrea also takes the time to communicate with us at our request giving us peace of mind all is well whilst we are away. Thank you very much Andrea, a first class service.
We booked Andrea for a Children’s Party, she was amazing. With Iggy, Hermione, Elvis, Snowy, Pascal, Evie and Angus and the Madagascan dudes, 20+ 5 year olds were kept rapt for over an hour of fun, interaction and animal facts. All could be handled except for Pascal who nonetheless was an exceptional character and a favourite of all the kids. Andrea and her team do a great job of keeping everyone engaged and the animals and children safe throughout. Thoroughly recommended, worth every penny and very much a “core memory” for my son.
All was going well, and our golden retriever puppy has been left with Andrea once a week since we had him. However he came home very distressed this week and Andrea explained he's been chewing her coffee table. The 9 month old puppy hasn't ever chewed anything other than his toys. We are mortified and looking at the damage can only assume he was left alone for a period of time to do so much damage. Left alone at a time when we were paying for a service to look after him. We were charged for the damage and Golden had the option of being "expelled" from his doggy day care or being crated when left alone. Our Golden won't be going back.
Andrea brought a selection of animals to my daughters 8th birthday party and was a hit with both the kids and the adults!! Andrea is very knowledgable and has so many facts, the children were all completely engaged and had a great time handling them! Thank you so much, you were a perfect addition to our daughters party!
Andrea looked after my staff/ pit cross whilst I holidayed in Jamaica, if I'm honest I was hesitant to leave Bert with anyone he didn't already know, but after speaking to Andrea and seeing her passion and expertise, whilst she won Bert over on their very first meeting, I felt 100% at ease leaving my boy with her, to this day if we see Andrea on our walks or pass her house Bert still pulls to meet her. 5/5 I 100% recommend.
Andrea hosted a brilliant party for our daughter and her friends for her 9th birthday. Andrea kept both children and adults really interested throughout with her fantastic animals and the knowledge she shared about them. She was really patient with the children whilst they handled some of her animals and it was just what our daughter wanted, thank you!
Andrea's knowledge of the animals she owns is second to none - my son thinks she is amazing, and wants to be just like her when he grows up!! He is looking forward to booking her for his birthday party, so he can see all the animals again, including the chinchilla, the gecko and the snakes - he is captivated when she talks about the animals, and would love to own as many as she does!!
Andrea has our two dogs every time we go away & they love going to her. One of our dogs is very sensitive & she is so great with him, really makes him feel secure, gives him loads of attention & fun so he forgets about us while we’re away! We wouldn’t send them anywhere else now.
Andrea was so helpful and professional when looking after my cat, Bonnie. It was so lovely and helpful to have daily updates every day whilst I was away. I will always use Andrea in the future and would highly recommend her as I feel Bonnie was well looked after and safe.
