Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!
If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

It has taken us 3 years to feel comfortable with leaving Dexter with someone outside of the family. Having decided we wanted a holiday abroad this year, we took the plunge with Julie and Malcolm and we’re so, so glad we did. After two separate overnight stays before we went away, we knew that Dexter would be in very capable hands and would be very happy. It is clear that Julie and Malcolm love dogs and Dexter was made to feel like one of their own. While we were on holiday, Julie sent us regular texts, photos, videos and reports, which was fantastic as it gave us such peace of mind. We could also see how much Dexter was enjoying his holiday - playing with his new friends, eating delicious treats, having lots of cuddles and relaxing on the garden day bed! We will always use Julie and Malcolm to board Dexter in future, for as long as they will have him, because we can see how much love and care is lavished on him. In return, he also loves Julie, Malcolm and the dogs and, if they are in the park at the same time as us now, he will run from the other side of the field to see them! All in all, we don’t think we could find anywhere better to board Dexter. It is such a relief to know he has somewhere to stay where he is so well looked after and where he is so happy. Thank you to Julie, Malcolm and all the dogs for welcoming Dexter into your home and making him one of the family when he comes to stay!
My dog Oli has been home boarded a few times a year for the last ten years. I have to say Julie had been exceptional in her care for him. We received many photos and reports of his holidays for the two weeks we were away. She really is a very caring and loving person and went the extra mile looking after him. I really would not leave him with any one else just wish she had been doing this a few years ago as we have had some bad experiences in the past . He has come home clean and exhausted from all his lovely walks and playtime with Julie’s dogs can’t thank her enough. I know from now on I won’t worry about him while I’m on holiday he will be having a great time
I had never put Rocco into boarding before and I was quite apprehensive about how he would be. I met Julie in her home with Malcolm and their own dogs, a meet and greet, Julie did it with great care and attention to not overwhelm Rocco. It was agreed then on Rocco's reaction to do a two night trial to see how this would go. This was free of charge. Julie updated me with an emailed report, what's app messages and pictures, fantastic. Rocco had great fun and it was set for him to stay for 12 nights. Would I recommend Julie, 100%, would I use her services again, 100% She sent lovely videos and pictures throughout his stay. He truly had a fab holiday himself. So well looked after and cared for I don't think he wanted to leave.
I’m so happy that my friend recommended Parsley and Pals to us! Julie and Malcolm took such good care of our dog Albie and I could tell they genuinely loved him. On my first visit, it was evident that Julie has put so much hard work, love and care into Parsley and Pals, and she absolutely adores her dogs as does Malcolm. I didn’t hesitate in booking Albie in with them for a holiday and I felt at ease whilst I was away as I knew he was treated like a king. Julie sends regular updates which is lovely. I can’t recommend Parsley and Pals enough. I feel like myself and Albie struck gold finding them and we have more visits booked in. Thank you so much 😊
I was so pleased to have found Julie with her Parsley and Pals boarding! We have a 5 year old cocker spaniel Sam, who boarded this week, and he had an amazing time!! Sam was treated liked royalty with healthy snacks, lots of playing, cuddles and space if he needed it. It was really reassuring to know Sam was in safe hands while we had a lovely holiday, and so did he! Julie kept me up to date with his activities and sent photos and videos, which were lovely to see. We are definately booking again next year! 100% recommend this service for your precious doggies. I have one happy, tired boy.
I cannot recommend Parsley and Pals more highly. Julie is truly committed to the dogs in her care giving them a home from home experience. My dog, Winston, had a wonderful time and has a group of new friends in the resident dogs. Julie is meticulous about her daily reports and kept me updated with pictures of Winstons adventures which was very reassuring. I will certainly be booking Winston in for visits and holidays in the future.
Wow! What a great experience we, and our two dogs had with their stay. Photos sent through and a great and thorough report of each day. Walks and lots of cuddles were had. Resident dogs all lovely and our dogs were very happy and relaxed there. Definitely would recommend and will be using again. Thank you Julie (and Malcolm)
Our dog Spud has gone to stay with Julie a few times and we couldn't be happier! Our baby boy has the best time and is very well looked after. It is clear how much they care the their own dogs as well as guests! It's such a piece of mind knowing he is comfortable, safe and happy. Spud will be returning in the future for sure!
Liberty had a great time at parsley and pals, I felt 100% at ease leaving her with this fabulous dog boarding organisation, the dogs are definitely in charge! Julie sent regular photos of Liberty and she looked like she had a nice time, lots of room, good garden, spoiled rotten! Will definitely using again🐶 …
We are so fortunate to have discovered Julie and Malcolm, such lovely genuine people who literally care for our dog Stanley as if he is their own dog. Stanley is so comfortable in their company and he has also made some new dog pals with the resident dogs. Highly knowledgeable and professional in how they look after Stanley and it is great for us knowing we can leave Stanley in their care fully confident that he will have a great time. We particularly love the updates ( emails and videos ) that Julie sends which gives us a great insight into what Stanley is doing and he has grown in confidence whilst with Julie and Malcolm. We would highly recommend Julie and Malcolm.
Joe and his team are all excellent. Polite, friendly and happy to be firm with my dog and reinforce our existing training. Each service we’ve used has been great and the person doing the service sends pictures and texts about how everything has gone. We Love Pets is also very reasonably priced and I will absolutely keep using them for as long as they will have me!
We've left our dog, a greyhound, with We Love Pets on a few occasions now and we will do it again. Joe is great with dogs, gives us updates of our boy on a regular basis, and most importantly we feel he is safe when he's there
Joe and his team are incredible. From the moment I met Joe, he has been professional and has worked really hard to make sure I’m comfortable whilst putting my bouncy boxer first at all times. He and his team provide dog walking, daycare and overnight care with updates, videos and photos to make sure I am not worried. My boxer absolutely adores all of them and I know from his reaction how well he is looked after. If you are looking for someone to adore your pet and take all of the stress away then you should definitely talk to Joe. I can’t recommend him enough!
! PLEASE READ ! On Wednesday 12th June 2024, this company lost my sister’s dog whilst on a walk. After he had been missing for 20 mins, they called my sister to make her aware. I then called them, and was told “I’ve tried to find him but I am just in the car to drop the other dog who was on the walk home, then I’ll go back to look for him.” There was also another lady from the company who was floating around trying to “look” for him. He returned back around 45 mins later, then had the cheek to tell us ‘I’ve got to walk another dog, I’ve already put it off for an hour’!!!!! He also lied twice about where my sisters dog was last seen. The way this was handled from start to finish was appalling, they had no compassion or concern whatsoever for my sister, or the situation at hand. They did not make any real efforts to search for him. There was barely any communication from them throughout the search. All in all, he was lost for 5 hours. He was finally found by my sisters partner, my partner, and my sisters friend, with help from members of the Maidstone community (massive thanks to them!) When he was found, he was exhausted, terrified and his paws were in pieces. I just thank god that nothing more sinister happened whilst he was gone. As a dog owner, please, think twice before using this company if you love your dog!
We found We Love Pets through Google searches. We had never used a pet sitter before and were apprehensive about what to expect, however Joe was absolutely outstanding. He answered all our questions and assured all of our worries. He made sure that both he and us were happy with the temperament of our sausage dog and cat, that he knew all of their requirements and what we expected before any contract was signed. The paperwork was prompt and easy to sort out and Joe was always happy to respond to us when we had a question or needed to make a change. Both our pets absolutely loved having Joe visit, in fact our sausage even waited on our sofa at the exact time Joe came in the evening, waiting for his new friend. We will definitely be using Joe again and would recommend him to anyone who was in need of a prompt, careful and professional service.
Thank you for looking after Benji!! He loved his time with We Love Pets Maidstone! Great friendly service. Can’t wait to use you again soon!
We were so impressed with Joe. His communication was excellent, he gave us daily updates on our cats and how they were. One of our cats has to have medication at a set time and this was factored in and administered correctly. Would definitely recommend Joe and will be using his services again!
I highly recommend Joe and his team 100% reliable, profesional and caring. Now I know I can go away with the peace of mind that my cat is really well look after. I came home after 20 days to a very happy cat with a shining coat. Joe does as per your instructions and spends time with your pet, not just popping in to feed them. They keep me updated with photos and txt whilst I was away. Very grateful for everything! so happy I found you.
I couldn’t of picked a better company for my dog care which includes visits and walks from Joe and Carrie. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, professional and reliable company for their doggie. Lola, my pooch absolutely loves her visits and walks with Joe and looks forward to seeing him every week.
Joseph looked after our chickens and roosters. Clearly loves animals and put me at ease knowing he was looking after them. Lovely and clean when i came home, obviously spent lots of time keeping them clean and feed well. Kept in touch all week with updates
Mazzie has been fantastic with our dogs and always responds quickly to enquiries for scheduling walks. We have no concerns that our girls are happy to see her and it is great to know they are getting walkies when we are not around. Mazzie also is always happy to sort out feeding if needed and anything else we might ask. Great service and so pleased we found Poppy and Pals. Thoroughly recommended.
Mazzie was a fabulous lady to look after my timid and shy Beaker. She really got to know her and her growl really well and definitely understood Beaker and her weird ways. Poppy and pals is a fantastic pet care service and I will highly recommend them and will be using them again.
Our first time using a cat sitter and I was really happy with the service. I got a daily update which was lovely and I'll definitely use Poppy and Pals again. Thanks!
Poppy and Pals are amazing. They looked after Hamish while we were away and he has been thoroughly spoiled. Mazzie spent time getting to know him and kept us up-to-date with photos - some really great ones! so we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We are very grateful for the care given to him (all 3 of us!) and will definitely use them again :)
Highly recommended 👌Mazzie is reliable and trustworthy so we felt very reassured that our little girl would be looked after in her own home ... without the stress of a cattery. We were kept up to date with photos (these great photos were taken by Mazzie 🥰) and sent little reports whilst we were away. Will definitely ask Poppy&Pals again when we need someone to take care of Sookie 💕
Excellent! Our dog Bea was in fabulous hands, whilst we were on holiday. Great communication and always a cute photo to keep us up to date and worry free!
I have had our labs walked by this company for years. They are brilliant trust worthy and love the dogs in thier care as they were Thier own. I would not hesitate to recommend. All our hairy guys have loved them and so look forward to going out with them.
Where do I even start! The Poppy and Pals team are wonderful, very reliable, kind and caring. They have walked our super crazy dog Odie since he was a puppy and that is no easy task. The team have also recently welcomed our latest addition to the family Molly for walks whilst we are at work. Mazzie is really great and I really can’t recommend the team enough.
We have used Poppy and Pals for the last 18 months have found them to be brilliant. They have treated our dog Babs with so much love and care, it’s been reassuring to know she was so well looked after on her walks while we were working. Overall an excellent and reliable service, we highly recommend Poppy and Pals.
Highly recommended, Mazzie is a lovely lady who look after for our 3 cats. She kept us up to date with photos and even video how our lovely boy Titu is playing with her whilst we were away. We will definitely ask her again when we are going away. Thank you Mazzie 😘
Our dog Poppy regularly stays with Dawn and Sophie and she loves going there. She is treated like one of the family and sees their home as her second home. Your dog would not be better looked after anywhere else.
Wonderful service from Rebekah and Luke looking after our 2 older cats while we were away. Great communication with photo updates and so easy to book and get hold of. Was a nice touch having a meet and greet beforehand to see the cats and explain everything in person. Highly Recommend for anyone in the Medway area.
Our cavapoo Cooper was able make himself at home straightaway on his first ever doggy day care visits to Stay Pawsitive Pet Services. Daily photos reassured us that he was having a great time and was very well looked after. We will not hesitate to use again.
Would highly recommend! Our first time leaving our 4 cats so naturally felt nervous but was quickly put to ease with regular updates of each cat! Our home was left tidy and our cats happy! Would definitely book in again! Thankyou!:)
Thank you so so much for taking good care of our dearest Sam (Sammy/Samuel). Great service and trustworthy! Will recommend to all.
We are absolutely delighted with the service provided by Rebekah, who took excellent care of our furry friend while we were away. She was dependable, friendly, and professional, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Our cat seemed to adore her and was very relaxed and content when we returned. We highly recommend Rebekah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. She is simply the best!😇🥰😻
Rebekah and Luke are great with Cora. They have welcomed her from day one and built confidence with her over time and took the time they needed with letting her off the lead. Would very recommend them both.
Our cat Wilson has never looked at us the way he looks at Rebekah 🤣. He fell completely In love. Rebekah was so friendly and professional. Wilson is a nervous house cat however he lapped up Rebekah’s attention. I felt really comfortable with Rebekah popping in and will 100% be using her services again can’t recommend enough! …
Rebekah and Luke were amazing and looked after our girls well during our time away. The communication was great and we received regular updates which made us feel at ease. We hope to use them in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other pet owners.
Stay Pawsitive Pet Services is our first choice to care for our elderly cat when we go away. He’s got quite a few health issues but Luke is brilliant with him. He (Luke, not our cat!) sends us photos and updates which means we can relax and enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind.
Luke is great with our 2yr old German Shepherd Rex. He has always been so flexible, reliable and trustworthy. It gives us great piece of mind knowing he is well cared for when he is on his walks. Rex loves going out and about off lead. Plus the added bonus of lovely photo updates when they are out having fun on their walks around our local country park. I would highly recommend both Becca and Luke. They are very professional, friendly and accommodating. A* Service.
Chris at We Pet Care has been very kind sharing his Knowledge with me and teaching me how best to groom my dog. He uses soft water which I think makes her coat extra clean and light. Long or short coat she always comes out looking amazing.
Highly recommended professional service. I have taken my dogs to Chris for a number of years and am always very pleased with how are groomed and how well they are looked after.
Chris has good knowledge and understanding regarding the concerns I have raised about my little dog’s skin condition and has been very careful with grooming him. I am always pleased with the results
My dog has been groomed by Chris from a puppy, for nearly 3 years now. Chris always does a great job and is obviously very caring and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the care and attention to detail Chris gave to my dog. This is the first time we have been here and will definitely be booking again. Chris has a wonderful way with dogs and is very patient. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you for a wonderful wash and cut.
Visited We Pet Care today for the 1st time, with my pomeranian. Chris was absolutely brilliant, he couldn't have been more informative about the best cut and how to maintain my poms fur, educating me on how to help her regulate her temperature throughout the summer months by keeping her fur longer, and ensuring the cut doesn't damage her fur as she gets older. He gave me lots of helpful tips on hand stripping her and ear and claw care inbetween her grooms. He was super gentle and attentive to my girl, making sure she was happy throughout the process, and not stressed at any point. She came home happy, with a beautiful cut and super soft and fresh fur. Will be recommending We Pet Care to all our doggy friends
Wonderful dog groomer! Professional, knowledgeable, kind and always does a fantastic job with my springer spaniel. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else. Highly recommend!
My girls always look super cute after a visit to Chris.
Chris has been absolutely amazing with our cockapoo Marley! Super patient and keen to help in any way possible. When we first took Marley to see Chris he was petrified of being brushed and unable to be groomed in any way. After a few weeks and several desensitisation sessions Chris and Marley have formed a brilliant relationship and Chris has now been able to give Marley a full groom. We are beyond happy and have already booked in for Marley's next groom with Chris! 100% recommend.
Really happy with my dogs hair cut , got what I asked for and the groomer was so lovely and helpful definitely got my dog a new groomer thank you
I left my young puppy with Jackie whilst on holiday. He had the best time and was really well looked after. I got regular updates with photos and videos, helping me to relax and enjoy my holiday. I have booked in again for my next holiday, and wouldn’t send him anywhere else. Would highly recommend.
We have just used this amazing boarding kennel for our dog. First time in a kennel too, the owner was extremely accommodating and friendly, we had daily updates , and my dog had the time of his life from the photos! So much exercise and play, with a beautifully big kennel and sofa ! We will definitely use again, thoroughly recommend.
Boarding my senior chocolate Labrador for 2 weeks , extremely good facilities in a beautiful setting . Jackie was amazing with him and kept us updated with photos and videos , even made his 13 birthday very special with a party hat and cake .. He had the most amazing time and I would definitely recommend these boarding kennels and I will be using them in the future.
Sadie stayed at Highlands for 10 days and had a great time. She was welcomed by Jackie and her family and was looked after and loved like she was at home. Highlands is spotless and the perfect place to for any doggy holiday.
Our 3 springers had a great time at Highlands. We received regular pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind that our dogs were having fun. Highly recommend this lovely place
My CKC spaniel recently had three and a half weeks with Barking Mad while I was in Australia. I had no worries about leaving her as I knew from previous visits that the hosts she stayed with would treat her as well as I could wish for. I received regular updates and videos during her stay and could see that she was happy and content. Pauline did a great job of matching her to a couple who are willing to give her all the comforts of home, including allowing her to sleep on their bed! A cut above your normal dog boarding.
I would definitely recommend Pauline and the rest of the gang, we’ve used them numerous times and very pleased my two spinones are very happy to go in their holiday with them and so we can enjoy our holiday knowing they are being well looked after
Great company and highly recommend. Our dog Rodney has the best holiday, it was the first time we’d left him overnight since getting him as a puppy but the text updates and photos put our mind at ease, Rodney had a fab time and came home very relaxed. The owners and hosts clearly really care for animals and look after them as if they were their own! Rodney is already looking forward to his next holiday with Barking Mad and his postcard is now taking pride of place on our fridge :)
I’ve been using Barking Mad for a few years for Frank my Vizsla. He absolutely loves Pauline and his hosts. He’s always excited when they come to pick him up and he happily goes off on his holiday. I get regular updates and always feel confident he is happy, loved and well looked after. I highly recommend them.
We are really happy with the service from Pauline and her team at Barking Mad. She’s taken great care and attention in getting to know our two golden retrievers, noting every detail about their routine and their different characters. She chose excellent holiday hosts for them while we’ve been away; they’ve kept us constantly posted with photos and feedback. It’s so helpful that Pauline comes to pick the dogs up and drops them back home after their holiday, and she is always very timely and communicative. We feel our dogs are in safe hands with Pauline and her team, and it’s lovely to know they are in someone’s home being loved and looked after. We would highly recommend Barking Mad.
Our GSD loves staying with his host family. He is so happy and excited when Pauline arrives to take him on his holidays. Regular updates and photos are great, as we know he is being well looked after which means we can enjoy our holiday too. Would highly recommend Barking Mad Ashford .
We have been using Barking Mad's Ashford branch regularly and cannot praise Pauline Hills, the owner, and her team of host families enough! We have an old dog with various age-related health issues and we have total confidence that he will be looked after and cared for just as we do ourselves. It is a brilliant service and Pauline is such a warm and friendly person to deal with. We highly recommend her.
Pauline and her team respond quickly to emails and requests, and our dog is always excited to see them! He is well-looked after by the hosts and comes home happy every time. A caring and professional service.
Barking Mad are excellent - our little dog loves going to the hosts, they keep us updated throughout our holiday with photos and texts letting us know how she is doing and ensuring we don't worry about her while we are away. Communications always good, always on time, it's a seamless service every time. I thoroughly recommend this as the best way to give you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands while you are away.
Have used Barking Mad now for a few years Pauline and Alan have always been so helpful and accommodating especially as I am not the most organised of people. Never had a problem and more importantly my dog is always happy 😁 …
Kent Dog Walker have been brilliant, we’ve used their crèche services and home day care and both have been outstanding. Reliable, flexible, professional and everyone clearly absolutely loves dogs. Jodie and Matt who offer doggy home care have been absolutely fantastic looking after our pup. They’ve taken such good care of her, she’s clearly been incredibly happy and thinks of their house as her second home. I’m pretty sure she actually prefers it to our home! Communication has been excellent, they are both so lovely and they are so reliable which has been a breath of fresh air. I would 100% recommend them to look after your pup.
A 1st class service! My dog Buddy has attended the day creche and also been out on walks with Kent Dog Walker. I received photos of his time there and he was well looked after - thanks Charlie. I would definately recommend.
We looked for a long time to find suitable accommodation for our two Spanish rescues for the times that we go away. Most places we visited were the typical kennels that were outside, offering the dogs a large metal “cell”, with limited daily exercise. We instantly knew this was not for us. We wanted somewhere that was home from home - we also knew that a stranger in our house would not work. After much searching, we came across the KDW doggie hotel. We were instantly blown away. We loved that the dogs would be outside all day and then go to their rooms later. We loved that they would be outside, have human company 24/7 and we loved that if they did not want to go to their rooms alone, they could hang out and sleep in the “common room”. On the occasions that we have left our pups at the hotel, we have gone away, in complete confidence that our pups are being well loved and looked after and having their own holiday! From our initial meet and greet with Jay, he put us and the pups at complete ease - he has been amazing and sends us updates on the pups which is so reassuring when we are away! I could not recommend this place more highly!!!!!!🙂
Charlie was absolutely brilliant with our nervous dog. It was the first time he’s been left with someone he didn’t know already while we went away but Charlie was so flexible with booking him in for some walks and practise stays beforehand so he recognised her first. During our trip I had so many updates and pictures so we always knew he was happy, loved and well looked after. I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else now. Thankyou so much for allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our holiday- and for giving Chase a holiday too, with some social experiences built in! It’s definitely been good for him!
Kent Dog Walker has been a real find! Recommended by a friend's dad. My dog Jack just loves Chloe and she clearly loves him too. He is always so excited when he knows she's coming, so I can't give him too much notice!
We have been using KDW for 3 years now & our dog Bruce absolutely loves his time with them! We use a mix of services that range from walks with Emma (who is so good with him, he always has lots of fun, we receive great pics & updates). If I'm away for longer during the day then he will go to the field with Jay & Co and has a blast running around with his friends. We also use KDW for boarding if we go on holiday, it's a fantastic home from home experience for Bruce and gives me complete peace of mind! I would highly recommend this company to anyone!
We use Kent Dog Walkers on & off lead service. Our dog absolutely loves the team & so do we. The online system is so easy to use & book in. The whole service is seamless. Every team member I’ve meet is helpful, friendly & you can tell they love dogs. They were happy to help with our dog even at short notice when we had a last minute appointment & communication is excellent. Our dog has got a new spring in her step with all the new socialising she does. Extremely happy with the service & would highly recommend!
Kent Dog Walkers have been supportive, understanding and kind to my anxious doggy, Sid. I think they need a round of applause for all their hard continuous work and dedication; they’ve never let me down and I feel completely comfortable with the girls coming into my home when I’m out, which is reassuring. Sid also loves them !
We had KDW charlie walk our 4 dogs weekly and they came back absolutely shattered which was a god send, hyper little things till charlie walked them and then we managed to get office work done without being harassed. Would highly recommend there services. We are also going on holiday soon and will have home boarding services which I know they will love.
100% recommend absolutely amazing and couldn’t ask for better. Both Charlie and Chloe came to do the meet and greet and both my dogs loved them. When house sitting I got regular updates with pictures and my doggies got 5 star treatment from Chloe. My young puppy is quite nervous but she quickly became best friends with Chloe as she really took time with her and even out on walks took it at her own pace. Thank you so much
We used Opsy Flopsy Lodge for the first time for our two Buns. They stayed for 11 nights and loved it from the photos and videos that were sent whist we were away 😊. Super friendly, lovely home and would highly recommend, we will definitely be using again. Thank you so much Lorriane and Louis for looking after Fudge and Pebbles 🐰🐇 x
Janine just returned from a lovely 18 night stay at Opsy Flopsy Lodge. She was so well cared for by her lovely hosts, tending to all her needs and making sure she was very well looked after. Even trying to work out why she was nesting her hay like a bird! We loved receiving the video and photo updates to see what she was getting up to. We would highly recommend Opsy Flopsy Lodge and would definitely bring Janine for another stay in the future, thank you!
I cannot fault OpsyFlopsyLodge. The care my rabbits received from start to finish was fantastic. Lorraine is very friendly and welcoming. She puts you at ease and you know that she is really going to care for your rabbits. She looks after rabbits that need indoors or outdoors accommodation. Mine loved running around her garden. Lorraine sent regular updates with short videos of our rabbits whilst they were in her care. I'm not sure my bunnies wanted to go home when I came to collect them.
I can not recommend this amazing business enough for any rabbit owners in Kent. Lorraine was phenomenal and my buns had their very own holiday while I was out of the country. I was updated often about their time at the lodge, they were taken care of so well and Lorraine was an absolute pleasure to work with. My buns came home happy, healthy and I’ll be using the lodge again in the future!
My bunny stayed for 16 nights and I was so impressed with how often Lorraine sent me updates with pictures and videos of my bunny having a lovely time! It was very reassuring. Lorraine treated Pumpkin as her own with regular exercise and treats. I didn't have to provide anything for his stay - all food and hay was provided. She has a variety of cages / hutches to suit all bunnies either indoors or outdoors and she is very knowledgeable about the welfare of the rabbits. Would definitely use again.
Opsy Flopsy Lodge is the ideal environment for you to leave your bunny whilst on hols or away. Lorraine took such care in looking after our boy and sent regular video updates. She personally oversees the mixture of hay roughage and her premises are beautifully presented and set up for indoor and outdoor bunnies or both. Our boy had a fabulous, roomy bespoke cage and time outside. She made sure the sun wasn't too directly above and used the awning to shield and asked how he likes his water (bowl or bottle). Such care and attention to detail. An absolute bunny heaven. I wanted to move in myself! Flexible pick times too. Thank you xxx
OpsyFlopsyLodge was definitely the best holiday stay for our little Rocket! He is a funny character and can be extremely fussy but Lorraine made him feel so at home he wasn’t even cross with us when we got back. Cannot recommend Lorraine enough. From letting me go and view before I booked him in and then the videos when we were away…just perfect! Thankyou! Rocket will definitely be staying again!
Our two bunnies had a lovely time, they spent four nights at Opsy Flopsy Lodge. It is an all inclusive package, which is great. All their needs were catered for, including time to run around outside. We even had photos and videos sent to us, while we were away. The hutches are great and made to an exceptionally high standard. They are clean, warm and very safe. Lorraine is so welcoming and nothing is to much trouble. It was the first time we had left our bunnies with someone we didn't know and she made us feel really comfortable leaving our bunnies with her. They will definatetly return again next time we go away as we know they are in safe hands and they are well looked after 😊
Fantastic place for rabbit boarding highly recommend. Lorraine is fab and our rabbit Charlie Brown was very happy here for just over a weeks stay. Affordable and friendly service, regular updates on my rabbits stay with videos, messages and photos. Definitely use the this place agn next time we are away and in future. Thank you so much Lorraine for taking good care of my rabbit 🐇
Lorraine was incredibly helpful from the word go, extremely accommodating and went the extra mile to fit us in. The space she has for outdoor rabbits like ours is great. They are given daily time running around her safe spacious garden and not kept cooped up in their hutch. That said, the hutches she has are home made, of excellent quality and a really good size for 2 rabbits. She is knowledgable and genuinely cares about taking really good care of the rabbits. Despite being a bit of a drive from home , I would 100% use Opsyflopsylodge again in future and would gladly recommended to anyone else. Can’t fault the service we were given one bit. Thanks Lorraine :)
Would I recommend – yes, 100% We placed Bucky in the care of Michelle at The Best Not Very Exotic Dog Hotel for a little over 2 weeks whilst we went away, unfortunately, he did manage to escape from her facility but this was NOT the fault of Michelle, this was not due to a lack of care and I want to say as Bucky’s owner that Michelle went above and beyond to ensure that he returned safely. Accidents happen, and both Michelle and us as owners have learnt very valuable lessons. There has been a lot of negative remarks towards Michelle and her business, nobody except my wife and I has any right to leave or say anything negative at all and anybody that does so without knowing the full story is just being vindictive and nasty. Michelle put her own safety at risk to ensure the safe return of Bucky, she left her property unsecured night and day so that he could make it home. Bucky returned on his own to her property after a few days safe and well. I would definitely consider using Michelle again the next time we went away, the care and love she shows towards the animals in her care is second to none. On top of that, she was gracious enough to not only apologise to me directly but was able to admit the failings that unfortunately led to Bucky being able to escape. Thank you Michelle for everything you did, I know that without your determination and self-sacrifice there is no way we would have got Bucky back and anybody that criticises you our your business without knowing everything that happened is both misguided and ignorant
We have used the 'Doggy Hotel' since it was started, we have always been very happy with it. Michele takes care of our dog to a high level and is more than capable of dealing with any dog related situation. Our dog is always pleased to go to the 'Doggy Hotel' and comes away happy and well exercised.
Don't think Chester will want to come home!
Trevor loves his holidays here, we wouldn't send him anywhere else.
Brilliant, Mollie has the best time ever. 👍 …
Very knowledgeable lovely lady
