Verity is honnes and reliable. She is excellent with customers and their furbabies, and she will always do her best to help others out.
Used this wonderful service twice now, and will continue to do so, my dog is more of a home dog and I don't like putting him in kennels, this is perfect for us and for him, he gets home comforts and care with a trusted sitter who loves the little fella. I don't worry now when I go away as I know he is happy and looked after. Great service and great communication.
We've used We Love Pets Bridgend cat sitting service twice now, and can highly recommend. They ask lots of questions about your pet's personality and are very accommodating of all their little quirks. We got photos and updates every day we were away which really put our minds at ease, since we were nervous to leave them for such a long time. Very happy and will not hesitate to use again :)
Emma did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after our girls (2 basset hounds) for 2 weeks whilst we were on holiday. We received very regular updates and it was amazing knowing they were being so well looked after. It’s clear to see Emma’s genuine love for pets and she is our go to!
We are so delighted to have found We love pets Bridgend. When we suddenly needed regular pet sitting Emma came and visited before our first sit a couple of months back. She was amazing taking so much detail and time for their care. Emma is always responsive regarding dates which is brilliant. We come home to happy, relaxed, well fed and watered cats. Even their special fussy ways cared for! The regular updates and photos are so great. It means so much to know they are ok while we are away so we can relax. We highly recommend We love pets Bridgend if you need any pet sitters.
Emma looked after our two cats while we were away and made us feel so at ease. She gave us regular updates and gave the cats lots of attention, they really seemed at ease around her! Thank you so much, we look forward to using We Love Pets again in the future :)
We really enjoyed the service and care from We Love Pets! They looked after our three cats, with lots of updates over WhatsApp. It helped us enjoy our holiday more as we knew they were taken care of. Both us and our cats were very pleased we didn't have to put them into a cattery ☺️ Cannot recommend enough, we will be using again!
Emma and her team are our to go people to have our cats visited while we are travelling. They are very reliable and also very good with our cats. They send daily updates and photos showing how the cats are doing. If you need pet services, I recommend We Love Pets Bridgend team.
Great service! We have used the service before with our previous dog but now have another rescue who was initially quite reactive but has mellowed considerably. We were worried about whether a sitter would work with our Jess, who can be quite hit and miss with strangers, but we gradually built up a great relationship with a couple of the walkers who were able to read Jess’ moods and body language brilliantly and responded with the appropriate behaviour required. The team is very understanding about ‘difficult’ dogs and have been so good with our Jess that I think she might even prefer her sitters to her owners. Communication is excellent, the service is faultless and I am very grateful to the wonderful ladies Sarah and Emma that allow me to work shifts without worrying about Jess. Thank you guys x
Very easy to deal with, all arrangements made easily. Daisy and Poppy were looked after extremely well. Very happy and will definitely be a return customer.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! We have a very nervous super high energy springer spaniel. With her being so nervous it's stressful leaving her with anyone but the team have been absolutely incredible with our mad dog. So patient and she gets a proper run around everyday which makes life so much easier when we come home from a busy day at work. The meet and greet massively put me at ease as it's clear to see the love they have for dogs. Thank you so much for taking care of Cari. She's nuts and you deserve a medal!
This is excellent centre for both day trips and overnight stays for our doggie friends. The staff are knowledgeable and caring and have a genuine love of our canine companions. The centre is well placed with a large field for their regular exercises and there are areas where they can chill out in heated purpose built indoor areas which includes thoughtful touches such as sofas to make our furry friends feel at home. The overnight kennel area has large spaces for their stay so that animals ought not to feel caged in.
I’ve been taking my dogs to Glyntawel for about 6-7 years as boarders and daycare. Jayne and her staff are amazing and so caring with the dogs. The standard of the kennels is top notch. The freedom available is field to run in, a dog house for when it’s raining which is furnished with chairs and settees. They do agility, grooming and anything else your dog requires. What more can I say other than Glyntawel comes highly recommended.
My boy Griff has been lucky enough to have been cared for by Glyntawel twice a week for nearly two years. No daycare/kennel/boarding service, that I’m aware of, come close to the level of care and affection the team at Glyntawel provide. I feel blessed that Jayne and Dean set up their incredible luxury dog boarding hotel within my local area. Other than the outstanding grounds, agility park, slow running brook (which includes Griffs favourite high dive pond) and the fantastic fully furnished “log cabin” style snug, Glyntawels over-night boarding facilities are second to none. I very rarely write reviews on anything, I’m of the belief that I’ll “make up my own mind” on the place. I wrote this review because of how impressed and thankful I felt today while picking up my boy Griff his favourite place. Impressed because of how well Jayne and Dean run the show and thankful for that Griff loves it there so much that he never wants to leave!!
Would highly recommend Jayne and all the other amazing people from Glyntawel to anyone and everyone that needs dog boarding. They are so caring towards the dogs, and really give my boy the time of his life whilst I'm working away. He is always so excited to get out of the car when I drop him off, and the videos show just how fantastic and well looked after he is there. Completely takes the anxiety away from leaving him behind and would never go anywhere else for boarding ❤️
I just love everything about Glyntawel. Jayne and the staff are all wonderful and friendly and the place is just lovely. A big field with a small river for runs and then log cabins for the dogs to hang out in with their friends. My dog loves going here so much she cannot wait to get out the car and most of the time actually doesn’t want to come home. What more could you want!
100% recommend Glyntawel doggy day/night care! My labradoodle loves going. He cries with excitement as soon as we get onto the common. Jane ,Dean & staff are amazing with the dogs. They know each individual needs for them. Can't praise them enough.
Outstanding!! Our pup goes twice a week & has the best time. She never wants to come home! Jayne, Dean & the team are so caring, professional, experienced animal lovers. I wouldnt trust anyone or anywhere else with my fur babies x
Amazing staff and a superb natural environment for the dogs to romp around in. Fantastic ethics in regards to your pets at Glyntawel they fully understand peoples anxiety and the dogs when they are left for periods of time. It's great to know your family members are a part of the Glyntawel family. ❤
My three dogs have stayed at Glyntawel a few times now and they absolutely love it!! It’s so nice to know that they are having a good time when you go away. Regular updates on how their day has been are very reassuring too!
We highly recommend Jayne and team at Glyntawel. It’s always hard to decide where’s best to leave your VIDs as there’s lots of choices at varying costs. We contacted Jayne to discuss and arrange the meet and greet. Jayne was really helpful and answered all our queries. When we had the meet and greet, we met one of the team on a busy day when there were lots of other guests (Very Important Dogs) there. Our first impression was how clean everything was and how happy the VIDs all were, all out in the sun playing. Our three are nervous but settled really quickly and loved exploring. We booked them in for a couple of nights and as soon as they realised where they were when we parked, they couldn’t wait to get out of the car and go in. Jayne posts pics and videos on Facebook so you can see them while you’re away, looked like they had just a good a break as us!! When we collected them, they were clean, happy and really comfortable with the team. We’ve also taken them to the groom pod there for their haircuts and Charlene is also excellent. They couldn’t wait to see Jayne again when we arrived. Their haircuts were great so we’ve booked in again. They were relaxed with Charlene so we’re happy.
Brilliant dog walker, my dogs get so excited before their trips.
Nicola treats your pets like her own, she really cares for animals.
Nick is great with our two dogs. It certainly is home from home, gives us peace of mind that they are taken care of as if they are Nicks own. We had regular updates, photos and videos too.
Nick at Happy Pups has been totally amazing. We booked a last new minute break away which he fitted us in for and then with the road blockages planned we needed an extra night before so we could travel up and avoid. Nick went above and beyond to help us with this and saved us a lot of stress! Ralph was so well cared for whist he was at Happy Pups, he had daily walks and we were sent lots of photos and updates on him. Happy Pups cares for your dog just as you would want him to be cared for including dietary requirements, walk schedules and lots of tlc. I would definitely recommend and will use again.
Nick is so passionate about dogs and he is great with my two, plus all the others I've met when they've been in his care and I've bumped into him. He loves walking and the great outdoors so takes the dogs on varied and lovely walks, and they are also treated to lots of snuggles on the sofa!
Nick is a fantastic pet sitter. He keeps in touch and sends plenty of updates and photos. My dogs were very happy.
Thank you Nick for looking after Bruno over the last week, I would not hesitate in recommending you and using your dog sitting services again. Many thanks!
Highly recommended. Our dog has started here a couple of times. Well cared for, and very happy
Really good service from Nick, the dogs had a great time and were super well looked after
Our dogs absolutely love it here. It’s our go-to place for the dogs when we’re travelling overseas. Overnight boarding includes daycare which is what makes this place so much better than a regular Kennel. Sam and her team take great care of the dogs, nothing is too much trouble. The dogs have an awesome time and you can check online at the end of every day to see the latest photos of their adventures! You can also book treats and toys, like stuffed Kong toys, to keep them entertained at night, if they have any energy left! Couldn’t be further from the ‘one walk a day’ kennel alternatives. When I go to pick them up, usually they don’t want to leave…they’d rather be out in the yard playing with the other dogs then come home to the humans! Mind you, when I get them back they are usually broken! After a two week trip away the dogs usually sleep for two days! Pricing is reasonable however premium rates…which is reflected in the service, care given by staff, safety (big plus) and quality of the facilities. 50% deposit up front and balance when you drop them off. Deposit is non-refundable, however ok the rare occasion I’ve had to change dates, we’ve always been accommodated without any fuss. Worth every penny.
I was very apprehensive and worried about sending Roxy to Royvon playhouse Bridgend as she had not been since it was Fur Indoors. Still I went ahead as it's the only place Roxy has ever been. Well I'm over the moon that I did. Staff were absolutely fantastic kept me up to date with reports, took lots of pictures, phoned me when there was an issue, spent time with me discussing everything and most importantly (the reason I waited a few days until posting this review was to see if she was showing any signs of been ill) followed Roxys strict regime whilst in boarding as she is unable to have any other food and needs a fair bit of medication and regular feeding otherwise she becomes extremely unwell. Roxy has never not lost weight when away from home there and she came home a very healthy weight which I was thrilled to see as she is slim. Roxy made many friends and it was so lovely to see her happy and playing whilst there as they catered for her specific needs. Staff were kind, gentle and friendly and did a great job. Thank you so much. Roxy will be back :)
Mickey 🐩 absolutely loves his time at Royvon for boarding, day care and training with Fletcher. His behaviours have dramatically improved due to simple clicker training techniques that Fletcher has worked on, it has allowed him to become more controlled and less reactive. Throughout his boarding and training there was regular updates, videos and pictures that keep you assured on how they are doing but also help you to learn and maintain the training and good work they do. Follow up sessions have also been incredibly beneficial. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Vinnie has been going to Royvon since he was 14 weeks old and absolutely loves it. They took extra special care of him when he was young to ensure he had extra rest breaks and they have loved watching him grow. The staff have wonderful relationships with all of the dogs and we really enjoy looking on social media to see the photos of what they have been up to each day.
We were worried about leaving Luna in a kennels when we went on holidays, as we have never left her before, we needn’t have worried though, she was in good hands, the staff were lovely and friendly and wonderful with dogs. Luna had daily training with Fletcher and has come on great, we can’t thank him enough for his hard work. Also while away we were kept up to date with fabulous photos of her playing and interacting with other dogs. We can't thank them enough for looking after luna and will definitely be back to use them in the future!
Gus has the best time whenever he goes on his holidays to fur indoors. They took great care of him when the weather was really hot, we were worried due to him overheating easily but they really put us at ease. He can't wait for his next visit, he loves making friends, and we really appreciate the photos uploaded each day to Facebook so we can see our boy enjoying himself.
I have recently attended one to one training with fletcher with my 2 collies Jack and Blue. They both needed different training so I had separate training for each of them. Fletcher is a very nice young man who is very knowledgeable and professional and helped me enormously with training and building my confidence in respect of my dogs. I would definitely give Fletcher 10 out of 10 for training. My dogs have also boarded at Royvon on a number of occasions and are happy and excited to stay. The staff are always friendly and make a fuss of the dogs.
Can't thank Royvon enough for helping with my dogs reactivity. Fletcher was really great with barney and has made such a difference to his confidence and general behaviour with other dogs. Highly recommend.
Amazing place for your pups. We had ours in boarding for the week, and she absolutely loved her stay. Pictures every day, and she definitely had lots of fun. Sam and the team are just brilliant. Tina will return soon.
Fur indoors have been an absolute godsend for me over the past 2 months while my hubby spent a month in hospital with covid & thankfully is now recovering at home. I take Kylo 2 to 3 times a week so he can keep socialising with other dogs & socialise with all the wonderful handlers that work there. They do an amazing job, keeping them safe while they get a full on session of play & exercise.
Highly recommended. This is the 2nd year I've left our little Frenchie with the team at Barkers Lodge while we've travelled abroad. Our dog Ruby is lovely with people, but very reactive to other dogs, so it's ideal that this kennels keep dogs separate and provide more of an individual service. Ruby always comes back clean and happy after her stay. I won't hesitate to use them again.
This dog kennel is a superb place to lodge your dog for a day or longer. Very friendly family run business just outside Bridgend in quiet location away from any busy roads. The kennels themselves are safe, warm and secure and my dog has no issues being left there for times when I'm away on holidays. You can opt for additional country walks or 'mini bar' treats as well as grooming treatments. I would highly recommend them to any dog owner.
We have used Barkers Lodge on a few occasions now for our 11 month Old Cocker Spaniel Bella and what can I say it's definitely 5* from myself. From the initial contact to the ongoing service everything is well organised and informative. The Kennels are very clean and spacious definitely the best I've seen. The owners are very friendly and polite and definitely know what's right for your dog. We have dealt with Anwar 99% of the time and he shows true love and care towards Bella to the point where although she was happy to see us when we collected her last time she was still cwtching into him like she wanted to stay a few more nights 🤣🤣🤣. Brittany one of the staff members has also been very helpful and informative when we have messaged mid stay for updates on how Bella has been. This will definitely be the only Kennels we use for Bella 100%. Theres probably a lot more positive feedback i could give Barkers Lodge the list is endless but what i can say is If you want the best care for your dogs then you know where to take them 🐕🐶🐕🦺. You won't regret it.
I needed a place for my little Lhasa to stay while I went away for a week with the family abroad. I was recommended Barkers and what a great find. The kennels are very clean and well maintained and each has their own music speaker, heater and security cameras. The owners have a natural way with dogs, and really made my little pup feel at home. They even have a little shop where we got some lovely treats after the stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high standard kennels for their dog to stay.
I used Barkers for my 13 year old dog Buddy to stay in a kennel for the first time in his life, so you can imagine my apprehension. However, on arrival, I was greeted by Anwar, who soon put my worries aside. Anwar is very personable and took the time to get to know Buddy and spent time showing me around the kennels and introducing Buddy to his new home. I did not feel rushed at all. Needless to stay after returning to collect Buddy after a week, he was a bouncing, happy boy, who clearly loved his stay at Barkers. We will be back.
Fantastic experience with Barkers Lodge. Ellie and Anwar were great with our puppy Bruce and took really good care of him. The place is very clean, safe and modern. Very happy that we have somewhere local that we can trust.
Needed some boarding for a week for my cocker spaniel Hendrix. Barkers were very helpful with any questions I had and when I dropped him off I could see how much care and attention they put into the business. The place was clean, very well put together and even has cameras to allow the dogs to be checked on at all times The countryside location is amazing and I know it made Hendrix feel at ease with the quiet and fresh air Always great to have a place I can trust when I'm away
Can not fault the guys at the Barkers Lodge thay are amazing and lovely .Thay have got dogs them self.thay are so caring and understanding about dogs being part of the family and how much dogs are loved by there owners.thay are brilliant.every time are dog comes for a stay she loves it.As thay got very security around the kennels.the staff care about the dogs and look after them very good. there kennels are fab.thay are so modern compared to other kennels around.thay are very clean, very tidy,very modern.got some things that other kennels don't have to make the dog more at home or,music in the back ground quite heater in the back if it cold so the dog is nice and warm in these cold weather and has a choose to stay in or go outside which is fab I think. definitely keep bring my dog here when we go on holiday
So friendly, professional and perfect environment for when we need to put our dog in to stay! We have put our 1 year old dog in multiple times in Barkers Lodge. Ellie and Asif are so friendly and reassure us when leaving her. It can be a nervous time leaving your dog but having people there who really care about pets and have their best interests at heart really help the experience. My dog loves coming here and having the country walks and access to the mini bar treats. She has really made a bond with the owners and she’s so comfortable and at ease when she’s with them. Amazing place to put your dog and will continue to use their services in the future! We wouldn’t leave our dog with anyone else now that we’ve experience this!
I was looking for a friendly dog kennels in Bridgend for ages and I was recommended Barkers Lodge. From the first meeting they made my cocker spaniel feel comfortable. The room he stayed in had its own heater, and the music they had on was a really nice touch. I would have no hesitation in taking my dog there again. Highly recommend!
