I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.

I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.

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!!!

Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!

Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.

Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Lorie
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.

Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!

We have used Dacie Grey Home Boarding for our pug Milo twice now with him staying for 3 weeks this last time and he always well looked after and he lovely all the extra dog company that he gets. Looking to use the service again this October as we know Kelly will look after him.
🌟🐾 An Amazing Doggie Getaway! 🐾🌟 Just had to share how awesome Dacie Grey Home Boarding was for my pup! The place is spotless, roomy, and so well looked after by Kelly. She's fantastic at what she does and clearly adores dogs. My furry friend got such personalized care, and Kelly kept me updated with how things were going. If you need top-notch boarding for your furry buddy, Dacie Grey is where it's at! 🐾❤️
Delighted to have found Dacie Grey Home Boarding. I was so worried, nervous & anxious about leaving our dog. This was the best place I could have found. Will definitely be leaving our dog here again and would highly recommend.
Kelly looked after our 5month old Cocker Spaniel pup - I was a bit nervous to be leaving her - but needn't have worried. Kelly had everything in hand and such a nice well equipped place. A welcome relief to hear Coco had had a fabulous first "holiday" and settled in well and quickly with the other dogs! Would have no hesitation in recommending. 🐾 👌
Kelly had our German pointer for a week. He was settled and happy and had the best time with her dogs! I didn’t worry at all whilst I was abroad, and she met all his weirdo needs. Definitely using her again for our longer trips end of year
Our two greyhounds go to Kelly for day care. They clearly have a brilliant time with her, and she treats them like part of her own family. Kelly is really knowledgeable and is great for advice on everything greyhound related! One of our dogs was badly abused before we got her and has lots of anxiety and socialisation issues; Kelly is fantastic with her, and our hound is completely confident and settled at Kelly's home.
Kelly was fantastic with our two greyhounds and lurcher. So nice to see someone who understands the breed and we can trust with their care in those time when we need to leave them. They had a fantastic doggy holiday at Dacie Greys!
Both my terriers boarded with Kelly over the October break. They were well cared for within a lovely family home with lots of space and home comforts. Knowing they are so well cared for makes leaving them a little easier!
Kelly looked after my old boy Omey recently, and I stayed for the first hour and watched him instantly settle in, and play with Kelly’s own lovely pooches. I received regular photo updates of all of his adventures, and when I picked him up, he was happy and healthy. He had a fun, cuddle filled week, and I would be very happy to take him back to see Kelly again. Thank you so much Kelly 👍🏻🐾😊
Kelly is just lovely. Put my mind at rest when I contacted her about boarding my whippet x. I can't wait to see my boy meet her tribe and I'm sure he'll have a blast when he stays with her ❤️

Took great care of my dogs. Really happy with the grooming that Chloe did. Not an easy task with two hairy doodles!
Following up from Spey's little stop over. What a fab place, great customer service, Sarah is loved by Spey, he enjoyed nothing more than running around the estate. Excellent kennels for all types of dogs, definitely recommend Sarah and team to anyone wishing to kennel their pets 👍 …
What a great place this is. Lots of space for the dogs to run about with fantastic agility equipment and toys. Will definitely be booking to go again. Thank you 🐶x …
Good service, the road is a farm road so you have to take it easy. .

More like a holiday camp for dogs than boarding kennels. A tailored service for pampered pets.

Best kennels, around.very friendly. Unlike other kennels they take the dogs out in the evening aswell, highly recommend 👌. Only thing I'd say you need to book well in advance . …
Simon and Paula run the most wonderful business and I cannot thank them enough for the fantastic service they provide. I have two great working cockers and they just love the break at Blackhillock Boarding Kennels. It is so evident that they get great attention, entirely appropriate exercise and first rate food. Thank you for looking after the boys so well and they are packed and ready for their next visit!
This is the only place for my dogs where we can rest assured that they have the best care and attention. Paula and Simon are absolutely fantastic and have "a way with dogs" which is not a commonly found attribute.
The lady was so lovely. Showed myself and husband around, then the dogs. Took them to the paddock where they are out 5 times daily. Spotless place and very helpful. Had bad experience with a kennel before and she's totally put my mind at ease.
My dogs love coming here for their holidays, even my 15yo bichon gets excited when we get there, and she always hated going into kennels. Super service.
Great home away from home for.your beloved canines. Mr and Mrs Chase are fantastic with my dogs and me. They're naturally good hearted, my dogs enjoyed their stay and happy to come back.
Couldn't ask for better, pets are so well looked after.
Our experience of Blackhillock was great. It was our first Kennel experience and we went there from Elgin, upon recommendation. Plenty of 'free' time for the dog, he came back contented, not having learnt to bark frequently by copying other dogs and he smelt clean and was fluffy! Our satisfaction was confirmed when Paula could remember some 2 years later that we had once used their Kennels and upon arrival as soon as the boot was opened Quito bounded out to meet the owners and went with them tail high and wagging. If you plan to give them a go, do book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Wonderfully friendly family run business. Great facilities with your dog's welfare central to their business. You can trust them implicitly with our spoilt little pooch.
Fantastic place, it's like leaving our boys with family. They always thoroughly enjoy their visits, which means we can enjoy our holidays knowing they are being treated like royalty.❤

I have been using Croft Pets (Sue) for quite some time and have absolutely no hesitation in providing this positive review. Both my dogs love going out with Sue and staying in her home. Sue is professional and and provides a fab service which is very much valued by me and my dogs. Thank you!
I regularly use Croft Pet Services for my two bunnies when we have to be away. Sue is brilliant, looks after them so well, such a kind hearted person who you can see just loves the animals. We never worry at all, as Sue is so trusted, we know our pets are in great hands. Highly recommended!
We have used Sue's service when away from home and have always been absolutely delighted with Croft Pets. Reliable, caring and a pleasure to deal with, we could always be confident that our pet was being loved and well looked after. Someone who goes the extra mile and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Sue is very reliable and has great communication. Very trustworthy with our two dogs who she visits regularly for us. It’s a relief knowing they get their mid-day wander!
Fabulous service! Sue walks my dog regularly at least once a week. Also, my dog has stayed with Sue in her home quite happily, even though she is quite a clingy dog, completely indifferent to strangers. Sue’s quiet, calm manner will give reassurance to nervous dogs. Sue is reliable, friendly and professional. We are lucky to have her!
Our cat is quite elderly and needs medication so we worry about leaving her but thankfully we are able to call on Sue at Croft Pet Services. She is very professional and follows your instructions but you can tell that she is also affectionate and caring towards your pet. We would 100% recommend her services.
Our cats adore Sue and when we have to go away it is with complete confidence that they are looked after so well and with kindness. Flexible service which has helped us during extended periods and family emergencies, we cant recommend Croft Pets highly enough.
Thank you so much Sue, for always taking great care of our cat while we are away, it is lovely for him to be able to stay in his home and be comfortable rather than going to a cattery. Everything is kept clean and tidy for us when we get back. You always manage to fit us in even a last minute break at Christmas - Thank you 😊 …
Sue walks our bouncy flat coat Jura weekly, she is reliable and very flexible to our needs for extra walks etc. We love the fact Jura gets a proper off lead run around and Jura is delighted to see Sue. Would definitely recommend.
My dogs, past and present, all love Sue! Reliable and flexible, even at short notice. Highly recommend her.

Andy and Karen are absolutely brilliant with all the dogs, they have supported our nervous dog to feel very comfortable and built her confidence hugely. We have used the day service and boarding service, both fantastic, they treat the dogs with so much love and care. Our pup just loves to go out to see them.
This is the 1st time I have ever left any of my animals with people outside family.I certainly don't regret it,Kara had a wonderful time in a secure loving home with a special loving couple and I had a relaxing holiday,Andy kept me up to date with photos and Kara daily behaviour.I will highly recommend Edintore and have no problem Kara returning.Annie
This review is from Lola !, thank you to Andy & Karen for really looking after me I can't thank you both enough for giving me all the fun & care while I was booked into your 5 star doggy hotel , I'm booked in again soon can't wait & please say hello to Max .
Our 5 month old puppy went here for a week while we were on holiday, i recieved daily pupdates and could see how much fun he was having with Max, he was exceptionally well looked after and I have already book his next holiday, Thank you xx
Fantastic owners who really put the dogs first. Like a home from home for our dog

It's hard to find somewhere you trust with your pets when they're rescue dogs and a bit nervous but Brumley Brae have been brilliant. They even took my diabetic dog straight to vet when he wasn't looking well and definitely saved his life. My other dog Rebel is very scared of people but is always so happy to come to stay and goes with all staff with a very happy tail and no looking back!
We have arranged for our 2 cats to be boarded here for 28 days whilst we relocate from overseas back to Scotland. The staff here have been very helpful, professional and caring throughout this difficult process. The cats are housed in large separate runs with cat flap to external areas again separate. The cattery / kennels are in extensive grounds conveniently located just outside Elgin. Opening times are restricted to ensure care for animals. Highly recommended as an excellent cat / dog boarding facility..not cheap but worth every penny for the care and peace of mind. We can readily make regular visits during operating hours.
The only kennels I’ll use! Hamish loves his visit every time. He gets so excited to go, and he’s always happy when I collect him. My mind is at ease knowing he’s being looked after - despite his occasional behaviour issues - the staff are wonderful.
Looked after our Vizsla for a week in October holidays. She is shy being a rescue dog and we lost her brother Max middle of the year so we're quite apprehensive about leaving her. Staff were very reassuring and we left her and felt at ease. Staff even kept in touch whilst we were away to give us an update. Dog was exercised regularly and given one to one interaction. Would definitely use again. Thank you
Just got my dogs back and can clearly see they were looked after, they haven't put any weight on at all and are their usual lively selves. Their stay was also fairly short notice and the friendly staff were more than helpful and communicative. Will use again for sure! Thank you!
Everything you need to have peace of mind when leaving your 4 paws family member.
Staff are always very welcoming and pleasant when our cats are dropped off. Cats are well looked after and there have never been any issues. Always very accommodating
Super helpful team who I trust to look after our family pets when we're away each and every time. Great service and a really nice pet friendly/safe environment. Spot on each and every time. Thank you!
Our cat Felix has been going there for the last 8 years. I won't take him anywhere else. The staff are lovely and friendly and care a lot about all the animals. Very reasonable priced too. Would definitely recommend this to anyone for their Pets.
Our dog Snap always enjoys his stay and has no reservations about his accommodation. the staff are always welcoming and helpful. The fact that our dog likes them and them him is testament to their ability to form friendships and to look after any animal. Thank you Brumley Brae

Put our 2 dogs here for 10 days, was abit worried as mia is a nervous anxious pup when out of her own environment but they were excellent with her spent time in her kennel to put her at ease. Molly was no problem. When we picked them up they were both very happy pups & I would definitely recommend here & will definitely be booking them in next year again. A big thank you to all of yous for the fabulous care you gave our pups.
This place has bunny rabbits to view out back! Also a pet shop with all the essentials inside for your pets, they also have a garden centre not massive but plenty to buy and kennels if you need to leave your pup for a while. They've always been lovely people and very friendly.
All the staff here are lovely, friendly & helpful. I buy my dog food & treats here regularly. The only drawback here is the terrible till/ stock control/ code system. A couple of times I’ve nearly said to just leave it, as it was taking so long to find a price. I wish the owner would update the system.😕
My husband and I have used Bauds many times over during the past 15 years. Our wee Yorkie was always eager to get to Bauds when we reached the top of the road. She instinctively knew where we were going. Her eagerness said it all. We never doubted how well she was looked after by both the friendly owner's and staff of Bauds. It made it much easier for us to relax and enjoy our own holiday breaks away. Thank you all at Bauds.
My doggie Oso, spent over 2 weeks there while I was on holiday. Was a bit concerned leaving him for so long, but the staff there were so helpful and put me at ease. Came home to a happy doggie. Would totally recommend.
Having put my dog to this kennels the staff were friendly and I was reassured that she would be well looked after unfortunately on my return my poor dog had lost 4.1 kg in weight lost her coller and lead and the staff couldn't remember the dogs name when I confronted the owner he was no help what's so ever
Has been my kennels of choice over the the lives of my last 4 dogs. Great staff and dogs come home healthy and happy.
Dogs love it there. Always happy to go and get a great welcome. Lovely friendly staff.
Aye good place to put your cat or dog look after them excellent
Very good recommend it to anybody Who is looking for a kennel for there pet's. Very friendly staff.
