I have booked 2 weeks of dog boarding with Albachi Pet Services. She charged me 50% deposit which equals to a fee for one week. Due to a change in circumstances I asked to cancel the second week but she is refusing to provide the service which has been paid for or issue a refund. Very dishonest and extremely disappointing given then I’m an existing customer. Edit after business owner’s response: I have never told you the age of the second dog and it has never been mentioned whether it’s been bought or adopted so your public ally spreading false information to make me look bad. Also no, you haven’t provided me with terms and conditions.
Absolutely amazing lady. We have 5 cats all needed to be chipped and 4 that needed nails clipped and one of our Moggys wasn't having any of it, but Shell was so Patient with him and we managed to get him chipped in the end just couldn't do his nails unfortunately but that was down to the cat himself not Shell. I would definitely recommend Shell to everyone.
Shell offers a range of amazing services, she is very reliable and not only is she very professional but shes so kind and down to earth❤️
Friendly knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Shell has no end to her patience and her love of dogs is heartwarming. My boy adores her and all her dogs are so friendly and adorable!
A very good all round reliable service. Shell knows her stuff where animals are concerned and I have absolutely no reservations in highly recommending her pet services
Shell offers absolutely amazing services ❤ i had a scan for my chihuahua and wouldn't recommend anyone else xx
Always great service, would highly recommend!
Good reliable service, would recommend.
Thank you!
Just Picked up my two happy boy's, who clearly enjoyed the wee holiday at Puddledub Kennels. The guys at the Kennels are very friendly and helpful and clearly they all love dogs as my Two Springers Albert and George were happy to be with them all. Kennels are clean and tidy and all dogs are well looked after. This was the 1st time ever leaving our dogs in Kennels and I would definitely use puddledub kennels again. Thank you sooo much to you all 😊
Absolutely brilliant. Staff love the dogs and give them a lot of time, over and above what is necessary! Can't praise them enough ❤️❤️❤️
Our 2 kittens were very well looked after at Puddledub while we went on a weekend away. 2 happy and content wee boys. Great value for money and the staff were lovely. Will definitely use them again.
The first time we've used Puddlebub Kennels, very good impression. When we dropped him off and picked him up, there was plenty of staff around to help, all of them very friendly. He'd obviously had a good experience as he was his usual happy cheerful self when we picked him up. Will use again for sure.
My dogs love this place, staff are friendly and take good care of your pets
Absolutely brilliant place for my dog to go and I know he is safe and well looked after. Alan, Michelle and their son Andrew are just amazing with all the animals they look after. Caring and thoughtful. The staff they have working with them are just a fabulous team.
Great kennels, Michelle and the team always look after your pets well.
Collected our big boy this morning. This is his second stay here - well looked after again, cared for - happy boy. Staff are amazing 👏 until the next time. Thank you 😊 …
Left my dog last year for a week, nice team. I'm getting back this year for sure. Good pricing and a good place, open space for dog walk and sunny (safe) spaces for the dog to stay outside.
Amazing with our dog while we were away on holiday in july
Barking Mad is an excellent service! I have used Barking Mad for a number of years for my dogs and I've never been disappointed. Our dogs have been very well looked after and when the van pulls up to collect them there is great excitement from them about going on holiday! Elaine and John are genuinely caring towards the dogs and we leave them feeling confident that they will be well looked after and have a great time! Thoroughly recommend.
I have been a Barking Mad Host and service user for almost 20 years. Elaine and John are the third owners I have worked with and not only are they lovely people, they are by far the most enthusiastic, committed owners of the service. Not only do they ensure dogs have a fabulous holiday in appropriate surroundings, they have developed a very caring community for the Hosts. All your lovely dogs are looked after so well in their holiday homes.
After a bad experience with dog care some years ago, I thought I would never go on holiday again – until I found Barking Mad. My pooch has some quirky habits which require particular care and attention – John and Elaine came to the house to meet him, took note of everything down to the smallest detail and found the perfect host who catered for all his needs. I went to visit my family in New Zealand and had heaps of text messages, photos and video showing my dog out on lovely walks, having lots of fun and looking totally relaxed. I have already booked my next holiday and have every confidence that with Barking Mad, my dog will receive the same care, attention and love that he gets at home. I can’t rate this organisation highly enough, they are simply the best.
I cannot recommend barking mad fife enough. When your going on holiday you want your furry friend to be looked after the same way you look after them at home. You want peace of mind and reassurance, this is exactly what Elaine and John provide. No detail is missed out and they cover absolutely everything with you in a 2 hour initial meeting before they board your dog. Our dog has joint issues which can limit some activities, this issue was 100% taken on board while our dog was in Elaine and Johns care. I think it’s important to know any health issues your dog may have will be looked after correctly. You’ll receive updates with photos when you are away- chances are your furry friend is also having a 5 star luxury holiday of their own! The service is second to none and worth every penny. I cannot rate Elaine and John highly enough.
Since we first used John and Elaine at Barking Mad to look after our Gordon Setter "Floyd" for six weeks in 2017 we would not consider placing him anywhere else. He loves going with them and has the time of his life running with the pack in the hills and swimming in the sea. While he's away we get regular pictures and videos sent so we can see how happy he is. We would have no hesitation recommending them even for long stays. Peter and Maureen.
Our last dog Trey, a ‘silver surfer’ was always looked after so well and loved his holibags with Elaine and John. He was a withdrawn guide dog who had bad arthritic legs who just loved people and we worried how he would be staying with others. We needn’t have worried as he loved every second and was always cared for to our exact needs regarding his food and medication. When we lost him our two new girls who are rescue labradors now go on holiday with them too. As I am now disabled it was a huge worry for me that if I had to do anything at short notice, who would look after my dogs? I am so lucky that Elaine and John have always gone the extra mile for me when I have needed care for the girls at very short notice sometimes so that this now is not an issue. If anyone is considering dog care I would say let your dogs go on holiday with John and Elaine. You can have total peace of mind to enjoy whatever you are doing in the knowledge that your fur babies will be having a blast with the best care possible and being treated as part of a family with all their home comforts.
This is a wonderful service, run and owned by 2 devoted dog lovers. Elaine and John are friendly, caring and very professional people, they ensure that you and your dogs safety, comfort any special needs are their main priority. We were extremely happy with every aspect of the service they provided, which allowed my Wife and I to enjoy our break/holiday away, knowing that our 'Kizzi' was safe and happy! Many thanks to you both and we will be using your service anytime we ever wish to go away, when we are unable to take Kizzi.
Excellent service provided by wonderful and devoted staff. Nothing is too much for them as in our case when our pooch has to go to the vets, as she does once a month, it is no hassle whilst we are on holiday. Her dog sitter is excellent as well and we know that the dog is being well cared for. Keep up the good work and I would recommend them to anyone.
Isla y loved her wee holidays with Barking mad. So much that she is jumping up to get into John's car.John and Elaine are fully committed to what they do. It is obvious they both love it. Would definitely recommend Barking Mad. The host's are equally committed to ensuring your wee precious has fun and is cared for.🐩🐩
Once again I would like to thank John and Elaine for their exceptional service and dedication they gave us recently with Flora. Also cannot thank them enough for helping us out at such short notice for my father in laws funeral. Lynne,Alan,Emma and not forgetting Nugget are wonderful hosts. Flora came back bouncy, full of life and started eating without me having to remind her. Whenever Flora sees the bag and the car draws up to fetch her she cannot contain her excitement. Keep up your good work. Elaine and John as we do not know what we would do without your services.x
Very happy with Ewan and Annie. Our dogs have stayed with them for a week before and were well cared for and happy. They always let us know well in advance of any holidays they may be taking and are good at getting in touch of either dog is not quite right. I would highly recommend Loch Leven Petcare!
Anne and Ewan checked in on our indoor cat while we were getting married over a weekend and they were brilliant. Kept us up to date every visit with photos of Rùm which put our minds at ease as we’d never left him on his own overnight before. Would definitely ask Anne and Ewan to look after him again. Thank you both.
Annie & Ewan have been walking our two dogs since they started, and they recently had them for a week while we went on our our first foreign holiday in years. Annie & Ewan have built a great relationship with our two, who can be challenging at times being rescues, so we had no qualms about leaving them there. We got daily updates and photos which put our minds at rest, and it is clear that the dogs love both the walks and staying over. Highly recommend them for their friendly, personal, caring approach, they are clearly dog people first and foremost.
Annie and Ewan have looked after our cat in our home a few times. Their service is superb. The updates of how she is getting on together with photos/videos is a great touch and loved by all of us. We will definitely be booking their services the next time we go away.
Our puppy went for a 4 night stay at Loch Leven Petcare and i felt so reaussred as the communication from them was great prior to her stay and whilst she was there, even sending lots of pictures. Absolutely amazing and we will definitely use Loch Leven Petcare again in the future. Highly reccomend. Thank you !
Annie and Ewan reassured us and kept us updated with pictures of Harry, when he stayed while we were on holiday. Even his yucky raw food was not a problem. He is a big dog and his tail can be quite a weapon, I understand he is a lot to take on and I over fuss but he genuinely seemed happy staying there, I was reassured by their experience of dogs.
No hesitation in recommending Loch Leven Petcare. From my initial enquiry they were professional but friendly too. I was looking for a week long holiday home for our young Cavapoo. They offered a couple of 'practice' nights away which put both me and my dog at ease. In fact my dog was obviously excited to be back when I dropped her off! I know they looked after her well, keeping her busy with walks and playtime. The updates and photos while we were away were an added bonus. I will definitely be using Annie and Ewan again.
We were looking for dog boarding for our dog Millie at short notice and over the Christmas period. Ewan and Anne were recommended to us on a Facebook community group and when we got in touch we found they were very helpful and friendly. They cared for Millie like she was their own and sent us plenty of updates and photos during her stay. We now use Loch Leven Petcare for regular walks and we couldn't be happier with the service. They even have a tracking tag they use on Millie's collar, so they can show us on a map how far she has ran on her walk! If you love your pet, you'll love these guys!
Had read some great reviews on the local community page and got in touch with Annie and Ewan. They replied very promptly with links to the forms we needed to fill in for Jack and Finn. What was so brilliant though was that they wanted to meet our dogs in their own home to get an idea of what they were like. Both Annie and Ewan spent a lot of time playing and talking to our boys, Ewan even sat on the floor whilst Finn jumped all over him. The boys had a great time and we were both so delighted that they were with a couple who really loved dogs. Already planning their next stay - Highly recommend...
We left Nellie with Annie and Ewan while we went to a wedding. It was our first visit to the area and we were a little concerned about leaving her, especially as she has not been left since the first lockdown. We needn’t have worried. We got updates about how she was settling and pictures. She got walked and cuddled and we are hoping to leave her again on our next visit.
Had a stress free holiday thanks to pets on the beach. Very professional. Buster so enjoyed his time their thanks to the photos and the videos of play days. Highly recommended. He can't wait for next one.
All the Team at POTB are brilliant with the Dogs, Highly Recommend … Radley 🐾🐾 Patiently waiting on getting picked up for his walk/field play, he loves it… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …
Cheryl has been the best introduction into our dog Frankie's life. She is reliable, honest, friendly, professional... the list goes on! Frankie adores her and his fellow friends, he looks forward to her coming to pick him up for his afternoon walks and comes home ready for a snooze after all his fun! We cannot recommend Cheryl enough to anyone who is looking for a dog walking service that puts time and care into the wellbeing of her furry family. 🐾🐶💙
Milly absolutely loves her dog walks with Cheryl and you can really tell she cares about every dog! She is so trustworthy and reliable and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We also really appreciate the pictures she takes on the walks of all the dogs having fun playing🐶🐾xx …
I would highly recommend Paw’s & Pooches Dog walking services Kirkcaldy. My two fur babies Baillie and Koko get really excited when they get to go on their group walk with Cheryl. Koko used to escape and wouldn’t come back when called but Cheryl has her off the lead and comes back when out one her walks with the pack.
My dog nessa loves going out with Cheryl, she is super excited when she comes to collect her. Cheryl Genuinely loves & cares for the dog's she looks after ❤️ highly recommended 👌 …
Chico has been going with Cheryl since he was a puppy and absolutely LOVES her 🤍 couldn’t recommend Cheryl enough. She’s amazing with my boy 💙 …
Ashleigh has looked after my cats a few times now. The cats are always happier staying at home while I’m away and the photos and videos Ashleigh send every day keep me updated on how they’re doing. I’ll definitely be using Ashleigh again.
I spent a long time looking at cat sitters for my 3 boys and Ashleigh was highly recommended. After having her take care of my boys for a week, it's easy to see why. Ashleigh came and did a meet and greet, asking lots of questions and really getting to know our boys and their routine. Whilst we were away, she sent us photos and videos every day so we could see how they were getting on. The three of them loved her and enjoyed the attention she gave them. I wouldn't hesitate to use her service again. Thank you Ashleigh!
Fantastic service very trustworthy and reliable…. Above all my 2 cats engaged well with Ashleigh especially George who is very timid. I was very apprehensive about leaving them but Ashleigh sent regular photo’s/ video’s so I would not worry, I would definitely recommend 💯% …
Absolutely 5 star service as always from Ashleigh!! She's amazing and so accommodating, we have absolutely no worries when leaving our beloved cats with her. Always get regular updates and they are so happy and chill on our return. 100% would recommend this lovely lady!! 😁😁 …
Ashleigh did a great job of caring for our cat, feeding him twice a day, dealing with the litter tray and giving him lots of attention. She sent photos and videos every day, showing that he appreciated her and I’m very sure he would love to see her again!
Ashleigh is amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were away. We received daily updates with pictures and videos and she even managed the mail. She is very professional, kind and our cat simply adores her. I would highly recommend Ashleigh.
Bella and Daisy and me ofcourse would like to to thank you Ashleigh for taking care of us feeding ,playing and speaking to us taking pics daily and sending to mum 😊 I highly recommend keeping your cats at home, came home to chilled cats no stress at all and with daily contact with Ashleigh sets your mind at rest. Alison
Ashleigh looked after my cat Bramble while I was away for a long weekend, coming in twice a day. It was a fabulous and affordable experience especially when compared to having to put a cat in a cattery. I got photos at each visit as well as updates on how he was doing, which put my mind at ease when away. Ashleigh is very professional and visited before my holiday, asking lots of good questions to really understand my cat and tailor her visits to maximise their use. I will definitely use Moggy Mate again and will be recommending to anyone I know.
Ashleigh was amazing with our cat Ron. She attended to him as promised and sent us videos of him eating, playing and getting cuddles. Ashleigh is totally a cat person as Ron does not cuddle everyone! We were at complete ease during our trip away and we looked forward to receiving updates from Ashleigh about him. I would not hesitate to book again, very reasonably priced also. Thank you Ashleigh!
Ashleigh is really wonderful, efficient and caring service, and so friendly. Loads of updates while I was away, and really helped me to be at a conference and not stressed about the cat. Gave our wee cat loads of lovely cuddles which he loved. I think he was disappointed when I came home, as he was looking forward to more of the good cuddles.
Our 5 month old puppy came home calm, happy and more socialised after 5 days in a Barking Mad home. Lovely hosts who took great care. A really good thing to do to get a young pup used to being away from home. Thank you! The Bells
