Dog Sitters in Cheltenham

We entrusted Short Legs Dog Care to look after our Cavapoo Freddie on our wedding day and we were delighted with the entire service. Both Chris and Trish were lovely people and meticulous in their approach. On the day, Freddie warmed to Trish instantly - the freshly prepared roast chicken and promise of multiple walkies was never going to fail! Trish was punctual yet flexible and was very relaxed in meeting our needs to ensure we could enjoy our wedding to the maximum without any unnecessary worry. Thank you to both of you - would definitely recommend! Alex and Sorroka

What can we say about Chris she was absolutely amazing with our pup Polly on our wedding day. Polly is quite reactive and overexcited and Chris handled her perfectly throughout our day. We cannot reccomend Chris enough! Polly loved her 💕 …

Trish looked after our Cockapoo, Otis, throughout our wedding day. She was wonderful with him. He can be a little nervy and awkward but she took great care with him, did exactly what we asked and Otis had a new best friend by the end of the day. He even met up with Chris and another dog from a different wedding and just had the best time. Trish brought Otis along to our ceremony to be the ring bearer and to join in the wedding photos. She then took him back to our hotel that evening, made sure he was fed and settled. He was so happy and safe. It was totally perfect. We can't thank Trish and Chris enough. Joe & Jo xx

We cannot express how grateful we are to Chris for looking after Poppy on our big day. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Chris was excellent from start to finish; pre-communication was great, we were fully informed of the process and pricing from the start, and Chris kindly arranged to meet Poppy beforehand to make sure we were comfortable with everything. On the day itself, Chris generously picked Poppy up from a family home and later took her to the venue, which took the transport hassle away from us (she also dropped Poppy back off after the wedding)! During the ceremony, Chris seamlessly blended in with the guests and made the entire experience totally stress free for us! Everyone loved having Poppy there, which wouldn't have been possible without you Chris, so THANK YOU! We wholeheartedly recommend Short Legs to anyone looking for a dog chaperone for their wedding. If you want your furry friend to celebrate your big day with you, and if you want to ensure they are in the best possible hands, then Short Legs is the way to go. Thank you for everything, Chris! <3

We cannot thank Chris from Short Legs Dog Care enough for the exceptional care she provided for our dogs, Pippin and Gruff, on our wedding day. Pippin and Gruff aren't usually fond of new people, but Chris is truly a dog whisperer. They quickly became best friends, which put us at ease knowing our fur babies were in such capable hands. Chris went above and beyond, helping us include Pippin and Gruff in our ceremony. Despite an unexpected downpour that disrupted our schedule, Chris ensured the dogs were brought down for photos at the reception, capturing beautiful moments we will cherish forever. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for dogs made a significant impact on our special day. We highly recommend Chris and Short Legs Dog Care to anyone looking for outstanding pet care services.

I couldn’t have asked for a better chaperone for my sometimes sassy / sometimes nervy Italian Greyhound. Chris had everything covered and was the calmest energy for both me (the Bride!) and Neddy the dog. From pick up, to the service, to the drop off the following day, Chris was the ultimate professional and Ned simply adored her. Thank you Chris for being such a special part of our day, ensuring that the real guest of honour was calm and happy throughout! Wouldn’t have been the same without you 😊

Thank you Chris & Trish! Trish looked after our Cavapoo for a full day for our wedding last month at Eastington park and honestly so pleased with the service! For peace of mind we knew our fur baby was being fully taken care of, she was our ring bearer so managed to be part of our big day but at the same time she had the space and attention she needed. Highly recommend, Thank you!

Chris is wonderful and I would highly recommend booking her! We asked Chris to look after our dog at home during our wedding day, and then pop over with them for photos in the afternoon. She was amazing throughout, great communication beforehand and so lovely too. She did an amazing job in making our dog (and us) feel relaxed and comfortable, and we could tell they'd had a lovely day together! Chris is a real pro; she is trustworthy, considerate, patient, and truly loves what she does. Thank you so much for everything Chris, it was such a special moment to be able to have wedding photos with our little fur baby and it wouldn't have been possible without you.

Chris looked after two of our dogs at the Matara Centre last month for our wedding. She was great every step of the way, from organising and communicating before the wedding about the various needs of our dogs and our expectations to how well she worked with Matara and our Photographer Lee Hawley. We couldn't have made a better decision choosing Chris to look after our dogs, she kept them relaxed and reacted to their needs which gave us one less issue to worry about on our big day! Would most definitely recommend her services!

We can’t thanks Chris enough for looking after our Milo on our big day. It was amazing to have him there with us and having Chris took the stress away for us and our guests. Communication was fab as Chris was always responsive. Milo also spent the night with Chris to allow us the freedom to enjoy the whole wedding! If you want your pup at your wedding, we would highly recommend Chris!

They were lovely people, Kept Ned safe and took him for lovely long walks. He had a massive doggy grin when we picked him up! I’d definitely recommend 😃 …

Chris has been extremely helpful with our Springer Spaniel Buddy. We’ve worked with him closely for a number of months and have made a ton of progress in lots of areas. Things were really difficult before we started working with Chris and it is a massive relief to be in a much better place now and have a lot of the negative behaviours under control. Chris was very professional and very effective. I am very grateful for the work he has done and could not recommend him more highly.

Chris has been doing training with me and Freddie for just over 2 months now. He is amazing with Freddie who gets so excited to see him each week! Chris really knows his stuff and is happy to adapt each session to whatever you need which has been great as we have worked on issues that have cropped up in a timely way. Would definitely recommend. Freddie is going to be joining Chris and Becs for doggy day care soon and we can’t wait as I know he will be in safe hands and have an absolute ball 😊

I have been having 1 2 1 sessions with Chris for my staffie pup. We got her at 8 weeks old and my older dog didn't take to her. I asked Chris for help when my pup turned 13 weeks and he has been amazing. My pup is now 20 weeks old and my 2 dogs get along brilliantly. Chris has showed me how to train my pup as well, she is coming on amazingly. He really is very good and knows his stuff. I highly recommend Chris if you need any help with training.

After making enquires to multiple dog trainers for our dog Henri, Chris was the most prompt to respond. Chris is a kind and approachable person who is instantly able to put you and your animal at ease. His training was suitable, adaptable and conducted in easy to follow lessons for both owner and animal. Nothing seemed to much to ask from Chris and he was always willing to be contacted at any time for advice after lessons. It is clear from the outset that Chris loves the job he does and it really shows.

Chris has been helping me and my dog Woody to overcome his separation anxiety and improve recall. I am very pleased with the results and Woody loves Chris. Chris has a lovely, calm manner and has been very flexible with session times and location. I would highly recommend.

I had 3 sessions with Chris and learnt that some of the issues were caused by me giving mixed signals to my puppy Indie. Chris has a really calm nature and positive approach. My main problem was with Indie and my 2 cats. Chris only got to meet Meggie but he could see how stressed out she was, my other cat mostly hides whilst Indie is around. It's still work in progress but I can now pick Meggie, and Bella up in front of Indie without her jumping and trying to grab them. Chris you'll be pleased to hear we had a breakthrough this morning, Meggie and Indie were both on the bed with me for a couple of hours. That's the 1st time in about 5 months, I was over the moon. We have continued to train and she's now playing fetch with only 1 ball and will drop it right at our feet. Chris you were a star and we can't thank you enough.

We were having issues with our dog Hari's anxiety and reactions around people. Chris spoke to me at length on the phone to find out Hari's background as a rescue and to assess how he could help. After just one session we were able to understand more about Hari's behaviour and implement some key learning to start making immediate progress. After a few more sessions with Chris we are thrilled to see Hari's confidence growing and having much less reaction. We've also decreased the "safety zone" as Hari is becoming more comfortable in closer proximity, in most cases. I just want to say a big thank you to Chris, for all of your help and advice, we couldn't have turned things around without your training. We feel so much more confident and in control, which obviously we know is helping Hari too.

Our Nicole absolutely loves her time in day care every week. Chris & Becs are lovely people and offer fantastic services. We had a 121 training course with Chris and he has patiently helped us get to the best solution. Also Bec's grooming is amazing and professional as well! Can't recommend enough!!!

We worked with Chris when we got our Puppy, Delilah. We did 6, 1-2-1 sessions with him where he helped us with lead walking, obedience training, separation anxiety, meeting/being socialised with other dogs and a lot of other things. Our puppy is now 16 weeks old and we get comments on how friendly and confident she is. I really don't think we could have managed this without Chris. So thanks, Chris!

My dog Reggie loves it here - he waits in the window for their arrival and is so excited when they arrive. His confidence has grown massively and he’s more comfortable in the presence of other dogs thanks to the lovely dogs they take on and set up at the daycare (small groups). All the people are great and Reggie loves then too!

Our Irish Setter - Rosa has been going to the Dog Day Care Club for about 5 months now, It was scary at first sending her away from us but she loves her day out on a Friday and we can do what we like for a day without worrying about her. The team are lovely and they care so much about all the dogs, it's wonderful seeing all the photos every week. She comes home exhausted but happy, which is great. This week she came home with her Repawt Card which made us smile, they say she's "enchanting" even though she barks a bit and her recall isn't the best. Well done Day Care team, you're brilliant!!

Our sproodle has been a regular with the Dog Day Care Club since he was six months, and I can't recommend them highly enough. He has the best time, comes home, has supper and goes to sleep! They take real care and attention, and back you up on any training you might be doing, and often surprise us with little touches (such as well done certificates if he's actually NOT jumped up that day!). Thank you Nick, Bryony and all the team.

Our dog loves going to The Dog Day Care Club, she waits by the window to watch out for the van that collects her! We have been very happy customers for several years.

From first meeting Nick to see where my dog Reggie would be spending his day, it was clear to see how invested and thoughtful they were from the get go. Reggie joined the team as a 7 month old energetic puppy and grew into a polite adult always coming home clean and tired. His at-home training was reinforced by the team and they also taught whistle recall which I have carried on at home. I received updates and pictures, and monthly training emails. The dogs receive mental and physical stimulation with games and off lead exercise, they make sure to group the dogs accordingly and I appreciated the ease of the pick up/drop off service - Reggie would be waiting by the door every morning and wouldn’t even look back! A caring, trustworthy team that you can rely on. Highly recommend.

Bry, Nick and the entire Dog Day Care Club team are amazing! Exceptionnel service, especially the drop off and collection and they respond rapidly to any queries or concerns you have. We have been sending our dog to them twice a week for the past few months now and from the pictures they share of his time with them you can tell he is having a great time socialising with other dogs and roaming free in their secure enclosed fields! Would highly recommend them for doggy daycare!

I have a rescue dog who was very anxious with other dogs but since joining the dog day care club he has relaxed and absolutely loves his time there! They have helped my scruffy boy hugely and managed to put a very anxious mum at ease quickly. The feed back is great (even giving report cards and certificates) and there are always great photos of the woofers having fun! They are reliable and always manage to fit in an extra day when I need a bit of help. I can not recommend this fantastic day care enough!

My dog George has been to the Dog Day Care Club since we arrived from Australia - he absolutely loves the place and people! He comes home smelling delightful and absolutely exhausted after such a stimulating day. They have paddocks for walks but also do training, agility, brain games and relaxation. Bryony, Nick and team are amazing and the door to door service is so convenient! George has also used homestay for when I have travelled without him, they treat him as a member of the family which is so important to me. They provide updates and photos which eases some guilt as I see he is happy, healthy and well-cared for.

One of my dogs needs a lot of freedom to run. With so much land available she is in her element. The groups are selected with dogs that enjoy each other’s company. The games in the barn provide brain stimulation and exercise. All the staff are extremely caring and very professional with a lot of relevant experience. Having a door to door service is the icing on the cake, and you get regular updates on how your dog is doing. My girlie arrives home tired and very happy after the best days ever. Each session’s photos of all the dogs are on social media and it is great to see how much enjoyment and fun they have. I have worked in animal welfare for many years and can honestly say that Nick, Bry and all the staff are simply the best; taking extra care in the pandemic. Highly recommend in every respect 😍

I honestly can’t fault anything about these guys ! This place is miles above any other day care I have visited or experienced. If you want to send your dog to somewhere they will be truly cared for and looked after then this is the place ! Everything about this day care is 10/10! The outside fields and assault course , the indoor kennels , the on site grooming facilities,the daily handover at pickup ! Luna comes home clean , tired and clearly happy ! I really wouldn’t go else where :)

Tina is so helpful and friendly. Has an obvious love of dogs and was so great in looking after our puppy. Great communication too. Highly recommend.

Our Curly has been staying with Tina for years. She’s lovely and curly adores her! Best dog sitter in cheltenham! Highly recoomend!

Really nice and friendly lady Tina. Obviously a true animal lover couldn't have been any more impressed. Next bookings been made already. Recommend in a heartbeat. Thanks Tina.

Would absolutely recommend. Previous Veterinay Nurse who adores animals. Real home from home experience for your dog.

Have no hesitation in recommending Howliday Dog Boarding.

Our rescue Maisy loves her group walks. Reliable and brilliant service from an excellent small business with a comprehensive understanding of dogs!

We can highly recommend Brogan for dog walks, Lenny has a great time with her and the other pups!

Brogan was absolutely brilliant. We hired her to walk our rescue dog Winnie while away, and despite Winnie being nervous around new people Brogan made her feel so at home and she absolutely loved her walks. We received regular updates daily which kept our minds at ease and Brogan made sure Winnie was safe and at ease all the time (even bringing other furry friends along for walks too which Winnie loved!) I couldn’t recommend Brogan enough she was brilliant and Winnie loved her!

Brogan isn’t just a dog sitter, she’s great with cats too. She’s helped us with drop ins to feed and comfort our two cats while we’re away. She’s responsive, no fuss, our cats were happy and we got daily photos and updates. Would highly recommend!

Fab service - I always found it nerve wracking leaving my little dachshund with anyone but never with Brogan. She put me at ease from the start, Vivi always comes home happy and tired! Thank you x

Brogan is super nice and on the ball. Kept us updated whilst we were away. Thoroughly recommend.

My dogs absolutely adore Brogan! She has such a calm and gentle manner, and she obviously loves dogs. She stayed in my home and looked after Mocha and Goose while I went away, and it made my trip more relaxing knowing they were in such good hands. I have already booked her to look after them again. Brogan is also walking one of my dogs for me while the other one recovers from an operation, and their reaction when she comes to pick mocha up is wonderful, and says so much about how good she is to them both!

We've recently changed dog walkers to The Cheltenham Dogsitter after moving areas, and are really happy with the service from Brogan and her team. Communication is prompt, prices fair and they are flexible around our busy schedule. Our dog loves his walks with Flora.

We’ve experienced a brilliant service from Brogan and the team. From the communication for booking, personal service, meet & greet with the pets, to the sitting itself, we can’t fault anything. It’s amazing to have peace of mind when we go on holiday or out for the day that our dog and cat are having a great time with excellent care and attention. So far we have had Chloe and Mich and both are brilliant. Highly recommend!

Brogan is so kind and patient with my slightly nervous dog. She is so reliable and Lottie adores her walks with Brogan - she has the best treats!

Our dog has so much fun here, she is so excited she squeaks when we turn into the entrance and can't wait to see her friends. Lorraine and all the staff are friendly and very helpful. Plenty of mental and physical exertion means she is ready for a quiet night when we pick her up. Lots of training practice has helped the fluffy one pick up instructions quickly with us at home as well. The report cards are a great touch as well as the social media updates. I would highly recommend Pawprints to anyone. With our hybrid working it means we can go into the office when we need to and our pup gets plenty of socialisation. The flexibility is perfect for us as we can change days easily with the option of half days if needed.

We have used Pawprints for nearly 5 years and each morning Millie is so excited to arrive. The team excels in care, attention, communication and the stimulation and fun Millie craves. Such a wonderful local, well run and maintained business that has our full support.

I have nothing but high praise for this super friendly but professionally run and organised doggy day care rural retreat that has your dog’s well being and enjoyment at the heart of all it does. I have been bringing my 9-year old cocker spaniel, Alfie since his puppy days and he is one of the family. Thank you to Lorraine who had the vision to set this resource up and all her dedicated team who make this place so special 🐶💖🤩

Our dog absolutely loves coming to Pawprints, he always has a fab time, he comes home worn out, and the staff are wonderful, very friendly and really care about our dog. I also love seeing the photos taken of him having a fab time ❤ I would definitely recommend Pawprints to anyone, shout out to Jack & Tegan who Ruben adores ❤❤🐾🐾 …

We absolutely love Pawprints. Our dog has been going there since she was only a few months old and years on she is still so excited every time she arrives there! The staff are really lovely and really seem to care about the dogs and providing them with enrichment. We love seeing the photos of all the activities our dog gets up to. Her favourites are the scent games, the agility and parkour, and the tricks/training sessions. Another big draw for us is Pawprints’ amazing outdoor space and the amount of time that the dogs get to spend outside playing and socialising together. We definitely leave each day after drop off with peace of mind knowing our dog will be well looked after. We highly recommend Pawprints if you’re looking for a daycare for your dog.

My dog loves Pawprints. The team are so loving and attentive, they care for him and really get to know him. I feel very comfortable leaving him with the team as I know he will be fantastically looked after. Their outdoor space and mix of dogs is so important to enable him to learn how to behave around others, have quality play and training.

I can’t recommend pawprints daycare enough. We started taking our puppy there as soon as she had all of her vaccines. Originally, daycare was required due to job commitment - we picked pawprints because of the location, it is was 15 minutes from where I worked - which was 40 minutes from myself. Since then, I have changed roles and I am no longer required to drive to Cheltenham - however, we haven’t taken our puppy out of daycare due to the following reasons; - great socialising - the team post videos/ pictures throughout the day which are always filled with joy - the service - she never wants to leave; she pulls back to the daycare when I collect her If you’re looking for a great quality daycare service or just an action packed day for your dog/ puppy. This is the right right place!

Pawprints is such a wonderful place for our dog. He runs in there in the mornings so eager to get in. The staff are friendly and caring and really take the time to get to know the dogs and their individual needs. Our dog is stimulated, loved and comes home having learned a few new tricks. I would highly recommend Pawprints.

Fantastic doggy day care, all of the staff are friendly and lovely. Our pup loves going to Paw Prints, from his trial morning to his full days, he’s so well looked after and has the best time! Absolutely recommend!

My dog has been going to Pawprints since he was 12 weeks old, which is almost 7 years - he has the absolute best time every single day, and the Pawprints team are incredible! It is such a weight lifted off of my shoulders knowing that he’s being loved and looked after for the whole of my working day. I would be lost without Pawprints, and I’m so grateful that my boy gets to have so much fun and love daily whilst I can’t be with him. Have always highly recommended, and honestly wouldn’t consider ever going anywhere else - the people and the pups are everything I want for my boy to be around, and more.

Kim is absolutely amazing with pets! She will look after your dog or cat like if it was her own and goes over and above. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that needs any of the services she offers!

Fantastic dog walking services, have been using them for my dog Otis for almost two years now. I know he loves his walks having been there a couple of times when is collected he is so excited to see them. Always reliable and accommodating were possible if I need to book an extra walk due to work commitments, couldn't recommend them enough. Also they post great pictures weekly of the dogs and it is so fun seeing what my dog has been up to whilst I am at work.

Somehow my dog knows when you guys are coming and literally waits by the door! Bryony and Nick are reliable, kind, trustworthy and genuine dog lovers. Dogs are so well looked after and cared for. My dog always returns happy and tired. I would 100% recommend.

I have used the Dog Walker UK on several occasions now to look after both of my dogs whilst we are on holiday. If you want to know your dog is going to be 100% looked after look no further then the Dog Walker UK. Bryony and Nick are very accommodating, organised and trustworthy. I can relax on holidays knowing they are in their care. My little pouch is very bad tempered, whenever he has returned from a stay with Bryony and Nick his temper has improved so much, I wonder what we are doing wrong. The bigger dog always expects us to walk her as much as The Dog Walker UK has done when she comes home. Highly recommend these dog walkers/dog boarders!

I have tried many dog walkers and dog sitters over the past 8 years, and these guys are by far the most professional, friendly, helpful and efficient of them all! I've been using them for a couple of years now and I won't be going anywhere else. Highly recommended!

They are love the pets. I think so, this is the important at this service.

Thank you Harriet! Very much appreciated!

Kate has walked my dog Bean for over five years now. She has the most brilliant way with dogs. Bean actually probably prefers her to me. When ever we go away She happily goes off with Kate in her van wagging her tail. I cant tell you what piece of mind this gives me. She loves Bean as I love Bean. She gave me brilliant advice when we then went on to choose another dog to join our family. Both my dogs adore her and I have no worries if we are away. Brilliant.

Katie is amazing, she walks my dogs and they go for sleepovers when I’m away, they have the best time and always come home tired after exploring the acres of land they all play in. I can’t recommend Katie at Walk & Stay enough. Priced well for what you get. I would give a 10 star if available. Thank you for making my boys so happy 😁 ⭐️🌟 …

Lovely caring couple who adore and care for your pet. The dogs get to go on the best walks I've ever seen, through the most beautiful parts of the country. Never seen such happy hounds! Highly recommended 💗 …

Lovely experience
