Dog Sitters in Culross

I love Ashlea kennels. Pat and Ricky run a very clean and professional service. My dogs were totally at ease with them and the little video updates of the dogs are a great little touch. I have had my dogs in other kennels and wasn't happy. I wouldn't have my dogs go anywhere else now. I would definitely recommend these kennels to anyone that wants their dogs looked after really well when your away on holiday. Thank you both and see you again soon xx

The owners Pat and Ricky treat all of the dogs as though they were their own. Used Ashlea for all of my dogs and wouldn't go anywhere else

Top class place for your dog holidays

The dogs are looked after and loved like they were their own

Struggle to get my dog home sometimes as he loves it so much.

We have recently introduced our Alaskan Malamute to Rowan Sands Pet Hotel, and he's been absolutely loving it! After having some issues with previous kennels, causing some behavioural issues it's amazing to see him be so comfortable and happy with this new environment. The owners are/have a great team working with the animals, and as James is a certified dog trainer, we are very much put to ease knowing himself and the team can handle our boy and any issues that may arise. They also offer some amazing advice and training programs if necessary so all round can't fault them at all. Keep up the awesome work guys! 👏

First time for my boy but he had a ball. Well looked after by James and Danielle. Booking very easy and already booked in some future dates. Kennels are warm and comfortable and got plenty of exercise during 1 night stay. Highly recommend 👌 …

It was our 8 month old pups first time in kennels and we couldn’t have a picked a better place to leave him. When we first dropped him off he was quite scared as everything was new but James sent us regular updates and videos of him having a great time. When we picked him up 5 days later he didn’t want to leave! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere safe to leave their pet.

First time at very short notice I had my 2 dogs booked in with James and Danielle. I knew they were in safe hands and had continued communication as my pup is very hard work so I was stressing a little. Very confident and relaxed about sending my dogs here every holiday now. Fantastic set up and great business to deal with. Thanks again Gordon

Our dog Nala stayed here for 9 nights. She was happy & well cared for during her time at Rowan Sands. James was very welcoming and made us feel at ease leaving Nala in their care. I would definitely recommend! Thanks again for taking great care of her & keeping us updated on her stay.

Would recommend, owners are really accommodating and very nice to deal with. Our dog came home after his stay happy and healthy, glad we found you and will definitely be back! Thank you

What a lovely kennel, my crazy border collie loved it here was well cared for would defo book him in again

Home from home dog boarding - couldn't ask for better care for your loved dogs! Our lab has stayed at Diamond dogs pet hotel several times over the past year & he always comes home relaxed and happy. Happy return customer & would highly recommend! 👌 …

I would highly recommend Donna and Anthony to look after your dog. They have looked after my cocker spaniel Roxy a few times and I would not hesitate to put her back again. I received daily photograph and update on how Roxy was and could see she was being treated exactly how I would treat her. I always recommend Donna as she has a 5 star dog hotel xx

A huge big thanks to Donna and Anthony for looking after my fur boy! Frankie loved his stay and has came back even more affectionate than ever ( he must have been clapped all day long). We were sent regular updates which put our mind at rest. I will definitely be using Diamond Dogz in the future. .Fabulous service.

Think I had a different experience from a lot of other people there was no meet and greet I was met at the door by a man I booked well in advance Donna gave me a date which was suitable to both of us this was to be a trial sleepover before I went for a 2 week booking. On arriving with Alfie my dog .I was met at the door by a man I assumed Donna was in another room he took Alfie. Only question I got asked was does he take tablets Didn’t get any updates or photos I had to text and ask how he was told he was ok .Alfie has been very distressed since getting him back to the point I can’t leave him he was a very content dog he was quite happy going for a snooze while I was out now he pines like a wolf (pug) also found out that Donna had actually left my dog to go to a Celtic football match I would have preferred it she had cancelled to arrange another suitable time also was told he was quite happy going out back for his toilet which Alfie does not .

The very best care you could possibly wish for. Both Anthony and Donna are genuine dog lovers and the dogs know it. I'm a devoted dog owner and absolutely hate leaving Biba and I honestly don't think we'd ever get away on holiday if it wasn't for this home from home Pet Hotel. Fab...u...Lous!!!

Hi we have 2 Bernese mountain dogs that are spoiled rotten and I did a meet and greet with Donna from diamond dogs our 2 girls loved her so I didn't hesitate to book our girls for an overnight stay to begin with they loved it and have stayed several times since p.s. keep up the good work Donna

Fantastic friendly service! Makes it feel like your dog is staying with family. Have now used the service a few times and already booked in for the next one.

Delighted with Diamond Dogs Donna totally spoiled my Pointer over Xmas would have no hesitation in taking my boy back 😁😁 …

Very convenient for Clackmannanshire, not expensive easy to find and owner is excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

Donna is amazing with dogs .Great service.highly recommended.

Eza and Tom looked after our Alfie for four nights and he had the best time. They sent us lots of photos and kept us up to day with how he was getting on throughout the week. We had complete peace of mind everything was ok which helped us relax during our break .

I would 100% recommend Dinky Doggies! Winter absolutely loved her stay. Eza and Tom kept me updated frequently with updates and photos. They made me feel very comfortable :) thank you! Wonderful service.

Miriam looked after our Cavapoo puppy Max for a week. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We had regular updates on Max throughout the week who was well looked after and cared for. We had complete piece of mind during our holiday. Miriam was great to deal with, she also provided us with a lot of useful tips and suggestions with Max going forward. She is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. Brilliant service and Max will be back for his ‘pawlidays’ again soon 🐾

Fantastic service throughout. Our little dog was well looked after and had a great time meeting new friends. It truly is a home from home service and we are already booked in for another. Thank you for all you do.

Gave me some very helpful feedback regarding my 2 doggies, although she couldn’t board them herself she was super insightful and gave me some other trusted boarder recommendations!

Honestly what a genuine lovely lady miriam is although she was fully booked on the dates I needed she went above and beyond with lots of helpful information moving forward, recommend advice she gave, the amount of time she took out her own day to talk with me reassuring me and going threw option I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend her service based on our own chat for the last 2 hours nothing was a problem if anything I have gained knowledge/ understanding of my own wee dog this lady is hands down a lovely soul thank you Tanya x

I have been using Bespoke Home from Home Dog Boarding for many years - the first time was just after Miriam started it all! Border collie Mac was just a young dog then and he was always well cared for and given that extra special love and attention that you want for your special pet when you have to leave them. We have had 4 different carers over the years and all have been excellent. We now have two dogs, 2 border collies Mac and Midge, and whenever we leave them, we are confident that that they are in safe hands and that they will be cared for as you would care for them yourself at home. Sometimes, it is hard to tear them away and bring them home, they have had such a great time!! Thank you! :)

Unfortunately she couldn't board my dog, but she spent a lot of time with me trying to help me out. A very helpful lady who gave her time when she didn't have to.

Bespoke Dog Boarding was highly recommended to me by my vet. I telephoned the owner of the company and we had a detailed chat about my dog and his requirements, also his daily routine. I was most impressed by the owner of the company and can tell that she clearly is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. I was concerned that my dog who is a loveable middle aged lab, would be home boarded alongside, for example, a "Staffie" but after reading these other reviews, I am delighted to say that dogs who some may consider as potentially dangerous breeds would not be allowed to board with Bespoke Dog Boarding. This gave me peace of mind. I then met with one of the dog carers, who fell in love with my boy straight away and vice versa. The carers home and garden was beautiful. We spend over half an hour with the carer and played with my dog in the garden. I could see how happy he would be if he were to come here for his holidays. I have now used Bespoke Dog Boarding 3 times this year already as the service is fantastic. The dogs receive 3 or 4 lengthy walks each day, loving home comforts, constant companionship and I also received updates during my holiday followed by a selection of beautiful photographs after my holiday, showing Bailey having a super time with another 2 dogs from different families. When I collected him, he didn't want to leave!!!! I have now highly recommended Bespoke Dog Boarding to all of my dog friends. I would advise others to make a booking months in advance of your holiday as they are usually fully booked 6 months to a year in advance by all their regular clients. However I have sometimes asked for a short notice booking and if they have availability they will take Bailey. To the team of dog carers who may read this, thank-you for providing me with total peace of mind and I look forward to using your service for many more years to come.

Used Miriam for my dog Bailies 14 years at least three times a year and couldn’t fault her. She dosnt take dangerous breeds which I feel is a great thing as it is only for the safety of our own dogs . I can’t beleive the below negative posts when thease people have even used the company because they didn’t make it through the strict criteria . Well done Bespoke for not taking any dog just to make more money . Fabulous service and genuine dog lovers .

Had a good phone call with bespoke she gave me good advice highly recommend her will use her in the future thanks so much

Murdo has been looked after by Colin & Mary on several occasions. His second home, I have no problem leaving him and know he'll be well looked after with lots of walks and cuddles.

Christine looked after my 2 when we went away to France for 9 days, daily updates and pics/videos from Christine, going away hopefully again in August and will definitely use Chistine again 👍 …

Barking Mad Edinburgh is a great reliable service and I can't thank the girls enough for their attention to detail, great service and care. No problem is too big and they are always willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommended and we look forward to using Barking Mad Edinburgh in the future!

Tina and Stuart are genuine animal lovers and that left me feeling so relaxed, knowing my pups were being loved and looked after. Definitely recommend!

A great and reliable service, can't recommend them enough!

These people have been fantastic and helping me through my bad time thank you so much

DUG has only had my NEWFOUNDLAND Bear for a short period but the difference in his behav>our and barking has changed immensely. His bark collar has been put away for good.now I have a dog who is biddable.relaxed and content..I cannot wait to see how he progresses.

Simply the best

The company as a whole have helped us immensely since we got our puppy, Milo, in April. Initially a home visit from Scott to help start us on our training journey, his gentle nature was what made me then book onto puppy school. We then settled Milo in for puppy day care which has been such a help on days where I need peace of mind that Milo is cared for when my day is full on. Milo adores puppy care, he drags me from the car to the entrance! Recently I have attended Scott's group walks as well which has been such a help. The group isn't just about walking, it provides me with social interaction with other dog owners, as well as personalised training tips for my own puppy. Scott spent a lot of time with Milo which has greatly improved certain things I was struggling with. His approach with dog training is incredible, always about finding the positives and helping the dog to achieve rather than setting them up to fail. Cannot recommend Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre enough.

We’ve been taking our four legged companion to SDBC for a while now. The weekend classes are a god send for new and existing pet owners. Having never had a dog before we felt very welcome and comfortable with such an open, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable team. We also make use of the day care centre which our pup loves going to! The dogs are well looked after and paired up based on a number of factors. So we are always safe in the knowledge that pup is having the best time with his other doggo pals! Keep an eye on Facebook for their cameo appearance! The shop has an array of delicious deli treats for our boy. Everything is great quality and well priced! Beats all the high street chains by a long shot in my opinion! Finally, Scott’s walking groups are a great way to work with a skilled trainer on how to get the best from your dog whilst walking in loads of different situations. Scott is incredibly patient, even with our overly excited spaniel! It’s a great way to get practical hands on experience while enjoying a nice walk with great company (the humans are ok too 😜) Can’t stress enough how much we appreciate everything the team do and would encourage anyone to come along and meet them! 🐶

Highly recommend Scott and SDBC. Went along to Scott’s teenage tear away class and came away wishing we’d used SDBC puppy classes. Attended individual recall session with Scott, great improvement with this and lots more confident letting our dog off lead. More recently had a consultation at home with Scott then a walk around our local park. Scott listens to everything and understood the difficulties we were experiencing with barking at and passing other dogs. He offered great advice and showed handling skills putting me at ease and helping rebuild my confidence and my dog’s. Definitely been an improvement all round while out on walks. These are enjoyable again with very few occasions of barking however thanks to Scott I’m now more comfortable handling these situations. 😊🐶😊

I've been taking Custard on adventure walks and walking with other dogs with Scott. The group sessions have been amazing for Custard! Not just for his socialisation, but for his little tics which I've not seen, that Scott has pointed out; something that isn't easy to notice by yourself. Custard can now walk with other dogs, no matter the breed without pulling constantly. I highly recommend anyone who needs help with walking with others or even trying new areas is extremely worth while. A couple of pictures and an after one, once the boy got back home from the great social! Thanks Scott, all I ask is more walks with lots of water please 😂.

I’ve been going to training and playgroup with my Puppy since November and SDBC is now part of our life and have made some lovely new friends. Everyone at the centre is amazing and have really helped my wee Teddy. We recently went on the puppy walks and I would highly recommend it. It really does help you put what you learn in class into practice and has really benefited us. Scott is great and takes time to help with any issues your pup has. During the 5 walks we saw such an improvement with all our fur babies.

Our experience with Stirling Dog Behavioral Centre has been first class. We were having problems with our 2 dogs (ages 4 and 6) barking and lunging at other dogs and we didn’t know how to stop it. Also, our younger dog had bitten the vet nurse at a vaccination appointment, and we had stopped going to the vet. We were going to go on holiday to Cornwall with the dogs and we knew we wouldn’t be able to control the dogs in a busy place. We had not really trained them properly, which was remiss of us but it’s never too late to start! Scott came to visit us at home first and assessed our situation. We live in the country and our dogs were not meeting other dogs routinely and particularly the younger one who was a lockdown puppy hadn’t met other dogs all through her first year. We started playing training games with the dogs and encouraging them to engage more with us and rewarding the behavior we wanted. So, at a basic level if the dog turns to you, you say yes and give a treat. Then a few weeks later we joined the classes. It was amazing our dogs could cope with being in a big group of dogs as they are all busy doing exercises and games, they didn’t bark etc. Our younger dog is still lunging but we know what to do now and hopefully this behavior will become less. We are being trained to train our dogs! The training has also helped us take the dogs to the vet. Our last vaccinations went like a dream as we distracted them with sausages! Their heads were in the sausage container they didn’t even know the vaccination was going in. So we are heading to Cornwall next week and we are looking forward to walks on the beach with well behaved dogs!

Nothing short of FANTASTIC! We have taken our pup to both the puppy classes, adventure walks and puppy play group. The puppy classes are well structured and a great source of knowledge for any level of dog owner. However, as first time dog owners they really helped reassure us more than anything that we were doing the right thing! The team are patient and always happy to offer any advice needed. Great value for money and the location is perfect for parking etc. Great for any aged dog and great for socialising. The adventure walks are a great way to get out and enjoy the great outdoors with your puppy and other owners. Scott usually takes the sessions and is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure everyone is included. Never misses a training puppertunity! Puppy Play group is a great way of socialising your puppy with other dogs! There are a great mix of dogs and our pup loves going. We’ve noticed a marked improvement in his confidence since he started going. The biggest thing for me is that they care! They care about the dogs and they care about giving the owners the tools to success. Can’t recommend visiting the centre enough! Wouldn’t be without it! 🐶

Would highly recommend Scott and the team at SDBC. I had a consultation with Scott and then attended group classes with my 2 year old rescue. I have also been on one of the adventure walks with Scott. All the staff are very knowledgeable and show great care towards every single dog they meet. Me and my pup now have a lot more confidence with the training methods we have learned

A wonderful place where dogs come first but their humans are nurtured too Ann and her team genuinely love their charges and it’s not just a business or a job to them. I had a huge amount of support for my Border Collie to the extent of SDBC helping me find the most fantastic home for her. I have a new puppy now and we are both looking forward to working with the team again. They also sell a wide range of natural chews and treats and will advise owners on the most appropriate choice. The dogs really love going there and that’s a better endorsement than this human can give. So it’s 5 stars from me too.

Our lunatic black Labrador puppy entered our lives in February 2020 just before lockdown. The timing was terrible and socialisation a real problem. A recommendation led us to the amazing team at the Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre and we’ve never looked back. Luffy loves it. He started with puppy playgroup and now goes once a week as a day care dog (for his own benefit, not because he needs to) and for obedience classes. He loves it; we’ve both benefited enormously and have come so far. So far, in fact, he now has a baby sister. I simply can’t recommend this place highly enough.
