Dog Sitters in Dorking

What an absolute pleasure and great experience for us and our 5 month old bundle of joy. We thought our puppy wouldn't want to come home. Heidi is amazing, very flexible in covering some holiday time and gave great advice to us new dog parents. First choice every time.

Heidi has been looking after our pets for many years. We have 2 cats and a rabbit, and Heidi visits each day whenever we go away to feed them and look after them in our home. She takes super care of them and is lovely to deal with and really reliable. I highly recommend Heidi and Muddy Paws as we always know 'the gang' are in safe hands when we are away and have confidence that we will be greeted by happy pets when we return. Thank you, Heidi 😊

My two beagles were looked after so well. Heidi and Stephen are wonderful people, no where else comes close to muddy paws and I won't leave my two boys with anyone else from now on. Absolutely fantastic.

I’ve used Muddy Paws for many years now, starting with our gerbils and now Heidi regularly walks and looks after our two dogs - a 10 year old mini labradoodle and a 1 year old viszlador (who is quite a handful!) Heidi has been brilliant! Always does her best to accommodate our dates and times and will go out of her way to do so. The dogs always come back happy and I know that with Heidi they are really well cared for. It’s lovely going on holiday and not having to worry about them. Highly recommend!!

Muddy Paws has been providing me with dog walking for the last 4 years, 4 days a week, every week for my beagle Angus. Heidi is prompt, reliable, great value for money and really flexible. Her knowledge of dogs, breeds, behaviours, training and feeding tips have been invaluable. I cannot recommend Muddy Paws highly enough. Absolutely awesome. Would choose again and again. I am a genuine customer and provide real genuine feedback.

Our cocker spaniel has just come back from a fun filled week with Heidi. He’s a sociable dog and loves the company of the other dogs as well as all the lovely walks. Heidi is very professional and takes the time to meet dogs before a possible stay, which is great. We are booked in for further stays over the coming months and feel confident about our cocker spaniel having a lovely holiday while we are also away.

Our parrot Stan has been going to stay with Heidi for approximately 10 yrs often for a month at a time. Heidi is extremely professional and we have total confidence that Stan is really well cared for. We have no hesitation in recommending Heidi and her services.

Heidi is very professional and knowledgeable about so many types of pets. She has been taking care of our pets for 6 years and I do not ever worry at all about leaving them in her care as she is very caring and she has them all under control.

Heidi is very reliable and professional, and always tries to meet our changeable timetables, and the dogs love her. We are so happy to know that they are safe and happy with her.

Sorry you felt the need to leave poor feedback, whilst we take every feedback seriously I don't actually believe you have ever used our services so I would be grateful if you could remove this and add it to the business it was meant for. If I am wrong I would be happy to solve any issues you have had personally

Rob has been walking Millie my slightly nervous rescue dog for 3 years now. He’s so good with her and she’s very happy on her walks. Rob is flexible, has the dogs best interest at heart and frequently posts pictures on his webpage so you can see what fun the dogs are having. Would highly recommend him.

I have owned four Rottweilers over the past 15 years and Rob has walked all of them. He has always been completely reliable and I'm sure all of my Rotties enjoyed their walks with him. He has been willing to step in at short notice and recently, when I was looking after my daughter's English Pointer, was happy to take her out while I got in a round of golf!! Rob has almost become one of the family; I trust him completely and I know he felt the loss of Blade, Charley, Alice and Soldier almost as much as I did. Thank you Rob.

Moss (our border collie) absolutely loves Rob and Angela. They've been walking him for 5 years and I can attest from the smile on his face and how much he sleeps after he gets in he's had a good walk.

We were introduced to Rob several years ago & would now be lost without him! Our old boy Chums no longer walks but is always pleased to see him. Olive walks with him on a regular basis and truly looks forward to it. Rob is kind & very agreeable to changing times, for which we thank him! We would have no hesitation in recommending Walking Woofers to walk & care for your dogs.

After having a bad experience with another dog walker. Walking Woofers were recommend to me. Since the first meeting Walking Woofers were professional, friendly and the dogs were very important to them, as if they were their own. Walking Woofers have been walking are two working springer spaniels for many years and they enjoy their time out with Walking Woofers and you know your dogs are in safe, caring hands which is so important to any dog owner. I cannot recommend Walking Woofers enough for anyone considering a dog walker. You know your dogs will be safe hands and have a great time.

Rob and Angela of Walking Woofers have been walking my dog for nearly 13 years now. I would be lost without them not only do they walk him they care about him, look after his well being and always let me know if anything does not seem right with him. He has a long walk and always comes back refreshed and ready to relax for the rest of the day. I would not hesitate to recommend them so if you want a reliable, caring and genuine person to walk your dog then Walking Woofers are the ones to pick.

Rob from walking woofers is fantastic- I have a lot of shift work and last minute changes and Rob is always happy to accommodate my last minute changes . Our family dog loves seeing him and always has great walks which Rob captures on camera for us to see.

After breaking my arm i got in touch with Walking Woofers to walk my Rottweiler. I am so pleased I did. Initially it was only meant to be temporary but because it made such a difference to Jason's (dog) temperament going from a teenager to an adult., I kept them on. I also do not need to use kennels as Rob will sleep over and walk him the next day. When I come home it is if I have never been away. he is so much happier. Not all dog walkers will take on large dogs. I would highly recommend Rob and Angela.

Rob has been walking Max our Ridgeback for 7 years. Rob is extremely reliable, Max looks forward to his walks with Rob and the pack of dogs. At times when Max needs ‘special walks’ due it ankle sprains and needs to be walked on the lead this is easily scheduled within Rob’s day. Thanks for all your walks, Elizabeth

Rob and Angela have been looking after our dogs for 11 years. They have known all our dogs since they were puppies - currently two Ridgebacks and one Parson Russell Terrier and have always been completely reliable as well as being flexible to meet our dogs needs. They come highly recommended - not least since we would have struggled on occasion without their support.

Our dog Sophie spent all of her holidays, several each year, with Jane over some 11+ years. She loved going there and got on very well in the company of Jane's three dogs. We now have a new puppy of six months and hoping Jane will take her for puppy days when she is a little older. Jane has always sent photographs showing what your dog is doing which is very reassuring.

This weekend was the first time Izzy had stayed at Happy Pets - excellent service from a very caring lady. I have booked for end of July already!

In 2010 Jane started helping our family by looking after our lovely Labrador Pippa. Pippa was an anxious dog but Jane worked her magic, slowly gaining her trust increasing her length of stay from 1 hour to overnight and even one holiday of 3 weeks! Jane loves all the dogs as if they were her own. It's not just the walks and feeding , Jane actively interacts with the dogs during the day playing games and having fun. Sadly our Pippa died and now we have Molly, a rescue with issues! So once again Jane is slowly building the bond between them. Jane has so much experience and knowledge of dog behaviour and has given helpful advice in training Molly. Dogs that get to stay at Jane's are indeed lucky dogs and do have A Happy Pet Holiday.

Found Jane and her business Happy Pet Holidays through the Good Dog Guide and so pleased I did! She has a deep understanding of dogs and provides a home environment where you can feel confident that your dog will be well looked after. She sent us some photos and info during our week trip and you could tell when we went to pick him up and he had had a happy holiday too! Thank you Jane from very happy customers (dog and family) xx

I was going away for 4 nights and luckily found Jayne to look after my 7yr old Multipoo. I had an initial meet up at Jayne’s home followed by a half day trial to test the compatibility of our dogs which went very well so both Jayne and I were then sure a short term stay would work. I found Jayne to be calm, friendly and welcoming who clearly offers a loving environment for dog care by having them as one of her own in her home which is exactly what I was looking for. On my return, my dog was very happy and relaxed after being on long walks(5k) during her stay and Jayne took her time to give me feedback which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Jayne for any dog care you require and can vouch you won’t be disappointed with the loving and safe care your dog will receive.

My labrador Winnie has been enjoying holidays with Jane for many years now. When the car pulls up she instantly recognises where she is and gets so exited! She loves Jane and we can enjoy our time away knowing that the dog is happy and well cared for. The photo updates are very welcome and add to our peace of mind. I'm very happy to recommend Happy Pets Holidays.

We have left our little doggy Veuvie with Jane a few times and she has had a wonderful time. Jane takes the dogs multiple walks a day, which Veuvie loved. She also has a great garden which is perfect for the dogs to walk in and out. Jane is amazing with dogs. Veuvie absolutely loves her and now gets so excited when she realizes she is going to stay. Can’t recommend Jane enough. She is so helpful and extremely caring with dogs.

Jane kindly looked after our 2 year old Vizsla, Indi, for two weeks in September. Indi was very comfortable and at home with Jane, and her dog, Daisy. We were kept up to date with photos and video clips, and when I went to pick Indi up they clearly had bonded, which was lovely to see, and so reassuring. I have every confidence in Jane, and when we go away again, I shall have no hesitation in booking Indi at Happy Pets Holidays. Jane, thank you so much.

Jane looked after our 6 year old Labrador Rufus at very short notice when we had to be away for a few days. I can thoroughly recommend her services. We have already booked him in again for later this year as we will require more help.

We wanted someone to look after our two dogs whilst we were on holiday. Luckily, Jane had availability and the dogs could not have been happier. When we returned they were very pleased to see us but really didn’t want to leave Jane!

We first came across Ingrid and Kate when personal circumstances and a couple of unweildy crutches mean't we needed a little help looking after our 2 yr old Irish Setter! Having never needed pet care services in the past we were a little unsure what to expect and of course that we were trusting someone we'd never met before with the little furry grenade that had so quickly become the centre of our universe. We needed'nt have had any concerns and within the course of a couple of days, which included an initial visit to meet and great and her first walk with the group, it was clear that she was in the best possible hands and was really enjoying adventure and high times with her other, new, four-legged friends. We've since explored a whole range of services DPC provide; walks, day care, home visits and evening drop-ins! We've been so lucky to find Ingrid and Kate. The Bean clearly loves them and we absolutely love what they do and now can't imagine what it was like before they came along. Even more so lately as within a very short space of time the Bean was laid very low following some hefty surgery for such a young thing. With tyical gusto she's bounced back but what has been absolutely amazing has been the way that Ingrid and Kate have been so accommodating and in particualr helping us with the Bean's recovery whilst she been convalescing. We could'nt recommend Ingrid and Kate highly enough. Both for us as owners but particualrly for the Bean they provide just the most amazing service, a home from home on day visits and as a bonus are both wonderful, wonderful people too (also not forgetting Reuben who's doing a cracking job reinforcing the Bean's paw work!). Keep it up guys, awesome job. Steve, Nicky and of course the Bean.

Ingrid and Kate have been walking my dog Merlin every week for nearly a year now. I think they are absolutely brilliant, and Merlin agrees. As does Munro, my partner's dog. The dogs love them, and enjoy every walk. Both Kate and Ingrid clearly care for the dogs, give a debrief after the walk, and do everything they can to fit in with our wishes.

I cannot recommend these people highly enough. Kate provided a thoroughly professional, decent, well priced service. Our cats were looked after better than we look after them ourselves and we were given regular updates and sent videos almost every day. We arrived back to happy cats and our home just as we had left it. Thank you so much. We will always use you in the future.

Kate and Ingrid are fantastic at looking after our cat Baggy when we go away. They are incredibly professional and it's a great peace of mind to know that she is being left in such good hands. We can't thank you, or recommend you highly enough!

Bertie gets so excited when Kate and Ingrid come to collect him. He gets a great walk every day and they are really flexible if he needs a little more time with them. I really appreciate that whilst I’m at work he is having fun and being well looked after.

I would highly recommend Ingrid and Kate - our dog Otis absolutely loves spending the day with them and it is so reassuring to know he is having a fun and stimulating time with kind people who really care about him. Particularly love the ‘pupdates’ from walks etc - so nice to see him enjoying himself! Total peace of mind when we’re both working. Thank you for everything!

Kate and Ingrid are great and Max always comes back from his walks happy and exhausted. They are friendly, flexible and Max adores them which is all we can ask for. A great team and highly recommended.

Katie and Ingrid walked our Border Terriers for a week while we were away. They were fantastic. Definately use them again no hesitation.

Lovely ladies, so kind and helpful with looking after our hamster and bearded dragon. Thank you both.

Excellent service - highly recommended. Our dog seems very very happy there.

We are very happy that we found Lesley as our dog walker/sitter. Our Springer spaniel has a lot of energy so needs countryside off lead walks and this is exactly what he gets from Lesley. We receive lots of photos and videos (way better photos than we have ever taken!) and we can tell that Monty is loving his walks. After a couple of walks with Lesley, he jumped straight into her van which shows that he enjoys the walks as he is always reluctant to get into our car! Lesley's communication is also excellent and she has always messaged to say when she is on her way and this is very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the Surrey Pet care company as it is so reassuring to know when we go away that Monty is in great hands.

Luna loves Lesley and for good reason. She gets active, interesting and fun walks with other suitable doggies. Lesley is punctual, reliable and very accommodating. She’s taking the best care of my fur baby and I know she has dogs best interest at heart. Would definitely recommend.

The Surrey Pet Care Company offers the best care for your dog/cat that you could ask for! Lesley has been looking after my dog for around 2 years and she is great at communicating to arrange walkies, even at the last minute when plans change. I get pictures from the day which show how much fun my fur baby has with the other pups. She is realiable and trust worthy and I highly recommend her services.

Lesley is fantastic! We wouldn’t trust our dog with anyone but Lesley keeps us updated throughout the day with photos and texts. She’s punctual, reliable and friendly and our dog loves being with her. Highly recommended!!!

Lesley has been looking after our puppy Koda for a few months now, we couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. Koda loves her, and the other doggy’s he gets to play with. When Lesley arrives to pick Koda up, he runs up to the van and jumps in ready to start the day. Lesley provides us with regular updates and photos throughout the day so we can see what he is up to and all the fun. Would highly recommend Lesley!

Since finding Lesley to come in a look after our cats while away, we haven’t looked back! To have such a trustworthy and caring person coming into our home while we aren’t there, gives us great peace of mind. We love the daily, often twice daily updates and pictures of them enjoying some attention, play time and food. Our cats can be quite nervous with people they don’t know, but it has been lovely to watch them warm to Lesley and now they look forward to having treats when she comes in. Would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a cat sitter!

Barney has been with Lesley for over a year now and we cannot recommend her enough. He goes to her twice a week and absolutely loves it! He waits by the window for her van to arrive in the morning and we always have a very exhausted doggie on his return. Lesley always sends photos and video updates of the pups so you can see all the fun and feel reassured. She is one of the only people we trust to look after Barney and we don't know what we would do without her!

Poppy bounds to the door when Lesley arrives!! She is our preschool therapy dog but loves her breaks from work, spending time going for walks to lots of different places, or relaxing at her home from home! We always have a very happy, refreshed dog return & we love to see all the photos online of her fun day!

Since moving to Ashtead earlier this year it has been incredibly comforting to know our little boy is in good hands and looked after most days while we get work done. He gets very excited when the doorbell rings in the morning and comes home well exercised. We have found Surrey Pet Care company to be reliable and communicates very well on a regular basis including pictures and videos of the exciting life our pup lives outside of our home with his pack. We have recently got another puppy who will also be joining the pack as soon as she is able to.

Lesley is fantastic with Chester. He’s very excitable and loves running off lead and playing with other dogs. Leslie provides all that in a calm, professional and reliable way. She’s fantastic, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, as I have done many times.

Just recently returned from holiday having left our staffie & two cats with the lovely team at Crossways . Our first holiday in over 6yrs so we were quite anxious about leaving our animals. We need not have been as Crossways is a very nice place with plenty of open land for dog walking . The staff are genuine, welcoming & went the extra mile to send us photo's of our dog being walked and cats in their accommodation. That really helped to ease any anxiety.. Many thanks to Emma , Helen , Nerina and the rest of the hard working team at crossways. Ian & Nom Mann.

Pepper our lab has had two visits so far, one for the day and one overnight and has really enjoyed them and was really happy to be back for the second visit. Easy to book, great facilities and wonderful staff, who are all his new besties!!

I’ve been using The Crossways very regularly the last couple of months for overnight boarding. I think they are fantastic I know my dog is safe and happy and he is super excited to see all the staff when he arrives. He comes home calm and well looked after. He also had a groom and he looked lovely. Thank you to all the lovely staff. I’d really recommend to everyone.

Bad experiences, luxury rooms do not deserve the price. 1) my dog was in a mess when I picked up. With 11 days, they only sent me email on day 10 saying that her skin was not looking good and they decided not to bath her! (And that email did not get through until the day I picked her) Clearly, they staff who said to walked her twice a day did not give a closer look on her health. If the kennel does think she might allergy to grass or pollens as what they said to me on day 11, they should have informed me earlier and take some immediate remedies. 2) I found both of my dogs’ towels have lots of hairs that do not belong to them. Clearly, the room was not well cleaned from the previous dogs.

I cannot recommend the Crossways team highly enough. They have looked after my beautiful, complicated, anxious Loki as if he were their own, and achieved the impossible - he had baths!!!!! The team are so patient, creative and inventive in making sure each dog is loved while their owners are away. I am so happy I found Crossways - it is actually life changing to know how well they care for even the trickiest pup! Thank you!!! xxx

My lively Vizsla goes happily to Crossways Kennels. He gets on well with the staff there and they take an interest in him. I like the way that emails to the kennels are answered promptly and the checking-in process is thorough. My dog particularly liked a short stay he had in a Luxury Kennel at Crossways and he came out with a spring in his step, hoping for a return visit! Thank you to all at Crossways for looking after my lad.

Unfortunately one of my dogs came home last Sunday with 2 large, symmetrical infected sores on his lower jaw ... I have to assume he has rubbed his nose somehow, which I do not hold Crossways responsible for. My concern is that their promised daily health checks did not pick this trauma up and therefore it went untreated, which allowed a nasty infection to set in by collection day. Emma seems unconcerned that her daily health checks did not pick this up. Staff need to be much more on the ball with their health checks (ie actually look under their heads) to pick this kind of thing up before it is allowed to get worse, which would have stopped the soreness he must have experienced and the expensive vet visit I had to arrange. My other dog also now has a nasty respiratory infection so all in all a very unhappy experience for me and my beloved pets. Would not recommend or use again. Not worth the 1 star but had to give 1 star to enable me to post .....

A wonderful place I feel happy when I leave my best friend at crossways kennels. Jambo is happy to stay there, always returns in good condition . The staff are very caring, they take great care of him whilst he is in their charge.

Our dog had a excellent first stay here and we are looking forward to booking her in for another stay in Luxury.

My working cocker spaniel had a really poor grooming experience. She has been clipped all over very short, so much so she now shivers when she goes out. I gave specific instruction for example on the ear length and that had been ignored. She has been clippered all over, completely ignoring how you groom a working cocker spaniel, including her leg feathers. When I complained I didn’t even get an apology just a load of reasons why this had been done, complete lack of care. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place.

We recently used Peace of Mind Pet Care for the first time for our 3 very nervous cats and were extremely impressed by their professionalism and commitment to providing the best service. From the very beginning Sofie was very easy to communicate with and on meeting Julie, we knew our cats were going to be in safe hands. She immediately understood their needs, has an obvious love for animals, followed my directions with ease and sent numerous videos. On top of that, she's a lovely lady who's completely trustworthy. We really could enjoy our trip knowing our cats were safe and happy. When one of our adventurous cats became stuck behind a wardrobe, Julie and Sofie hunted high and low throughout the house until they found her. How they managed to do this while she remained silent, I still don't know? But their action demonstrates the commitment Peace of Mind Pet Care has towards the pets in their care. I highly recommend their services. Sharmaine

Peace of mind pet care does exactly what it says on the tin- it gives you complete peace of mind! We have our first family pets- two kittens- and Sofie was brilliant in talking us through the options for care both during the day whilst we are at work and when we go on holiday. Kate (our carer) is reliable and trustworthy and obviously really cares about the animals. She makes sure that she spends some time with them and does not just dump the food and leave. This is so reassuring. I would highly recommend Peace of Mind Pet Care to anyone. Thank you to Sofie and the whole team!

I have used Peace of Mind Pet Care for nearly 8 years now and highly recommend them. I used to put my two cats into a cattery but, after a bad experience that affected the health of one of them, I wanted the reassurance that they would be well looked after in an environment they knew and wouldn't be stressed by. They now stay at home and Kate comes in to feed them. She looks after them both so well, as if they were her own; she texts me to let me know how they're doing and they are certainly very content when we get back! The booking process is really easy and efficient too - thank you Sofie!

Jo stepped in to look after our 2 year old Weimaraner at short notice for a full two weeks whilst we went on holiday this summer. It was his first time with Jo and she was wonderful! She kept in touch with me constantly giving me updates and sending me the most amazing pictures of him having fun with all the other dogs. Dare I say, that he looked like he was smiling and having fun in all the pictures. She was professional, reliable and also had no problem picking him up/dropping him off to suit our schedule.

Jo looked after our anxious spaniel beautifully while we were on holiday! He came back happy and relaxed unlike previous experiences with other boarding arrangements. Jo also kept us updated with daily pictures of their adventures. I cannot thank her enough - it is such a relief to know he is in safe and loving hands with her! I think he is now looking forward to next time we go away :)

Our dog, Heidi has been with Jo since she was a puppy. Jo has been the most amazing constant in her life and we’ve truly appreciated the professional and loving service Jo provides. It is so evident that Jo knows each dog inside out and treats them like her own. She is passionate about her role and takes the safety and well being of all her dogs very seriously. Her updates on Instagram are a treat and very impressive as she gets more than one happy dog to sit and smile at the camera! As a new dog owner, Jo’s always been there to support me with advice when asked for. I feel like Jo and her husband are Heidi’s second family and I feel so lucky to have found such a reliable, friendly and loving professional to look after her.

Jo has been looking after our lovely lab since he was just a pup, she began coming in for a play every day until he was old enough to join for walks. She is utterly fabulous in every way and we are so grateful that our dog has found his second owner. I know he adores walks with her and the other dogs at Holmwood bound, they go to different exciting places each walk and Jo is nothing but generous with her time, the great pics on Holmwood bound instagram account say it all. Our dog actually waits in the front window for Jo to arrive! Jo treats each dog like it’s her own and I know cares so much for them. Our dog has also been to stay with Jo many times while we are away and it really is a home from home for the dogs in her care, they become part of the family for their visit and you really can tell when you get back that he had such a lovely time (some times I think he wishes he could stay longer). I can not express enough how happy and grateful we are to have found holmwood bound and Jo. If your looking for your dog to be loved and looked after then look no further 5 stars doesn't feel like quite enough!

Jo has been part of our lives since our puppy, Sophie, was 2 months old. Sophie adores Jo and she is always so excited to see her, leaping into her car with such enthusiasm. Jo is completely reliable and unbelievably accommodating to any additional needs and requirements. She is a fabulous individual who clearly adores all the dogs in her care, and she looks after them as if they were one of her own. I feel very lucky that I can leave Sophie with Jo without any worry at all. I can't recommend Jo highly enough.

Jo is completely reliable and clearly the dogs have such a good time! My dog runs to the van and jumps in as soon as the doors are open with hardly a backward glance! But I love knowing that's how happy she is to go with Jo. Her service is professional and very friendly and the dogs are very well loved when they are with her! I wouldn't want to be without Jo's help - she is 100% reliable and offers a wonderful service! Thank you Jo!

I literally cannot put into words how amazing Jo is. We have been working with Jo since April 2017, with our little beagle Margot. Margot absolutely adores Jo and always has the most amazing time. Jo is reliable, flexible and goes out of her way to make sure your dog is the happiest it could ever be. Jo has helped us with daily walks, day care and stays whilst we have been on holiday. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

Holmwood Bound is THE most incredible doggy day care, dog walking, dog loving place. Jo makes Marmite (our dog) feel part of her family, she can tell when Jo is pulling up outside and howls and paces with delight to see her. Honestly the most reliable, professional and friendly dog carer and so reasonably priced. Our dog is cheeky and quite a handful but Jo manages to even pose her for adorable photos which is so great to know what your doggy is up to during the day. Would recommend Holmwood Bound 100 times over. With two kids and two jobs knowing our little fur pal is being cared for is such a great relief. If you're looking for a home from home for your fur pal then Holmwood Bound is the place. :)

After our neighbours raved about Holmwood Bound we got in contact with Jo and now I don't know what we'd do without her ! Jo is passionate about providing the best care for all of our animals, and we can leave them with her without any worry, which is an absolute godsend. I would highly recommend her and we certainly wouldn't dream of using anybody else, superb service, thank you Jo!!

Jo has been regularly walking our puppy since he was 17 weeks old. Bailey absolutely adores her and loves the socialisation of all the other dogs! As Bailey is still young, Jo was keen to reassure us that she would only walk him for his appropriate age but uses sensory games to engage him for the rest of the time. Bailey clearly enjoys these and always comes home happy and contented. Jo also practises recall with him as she uses a 10 acre private field to walk the dogs which really helps to give us confidence when we take him off the lead! When first meeting Jo, we were so impressed with all her training qualifications, including her puppy accreditation and her five star fully license doggy daycare; we knew Bailey would be in the best hands! Jo provides a highly professional and reliable service and is always on hand to offer advice, however small! Jo was so helpful at giving advice when we were trying to decide on which harness to purchase and her regular updates on instagram and facebook always gives us peace of mind on how much fun the dogs are having! Jo's passion and talent for photography is also apparent and the regular photos she takes of all the dogs together is absolutely amazing and a real treat! Jo also provides high quality nutritious treats through her Paw Powered business which are at a very reasonable price and Bailey clearly loves them. Jo is so dedicated in the care that she provides to each and everyone of her dogs that she looks after. We would thoroughly recommend her without any hesitation.

My pup George has been going to Bruce’s for years. He is eager to be picked up by Lewis every morning. His carers adore him and I know he’s getting up to mischief in a safe environment. George uses all the facilities from daycare, grooming and boarding. An absolutely invaluable service.

Our dog has gone to Bruce’s for many years now. She really seems to enjoy it! Friendly staff, flexible booking system and lots of activities for the pups. Would highly recommend!

As soon as Hector sees his treats by the front door in the morning he’s waiting to see the Bruce’s bus pull up. Or rather he is waiting for Eric to knock and he can’t get out to him fast enough. Rain or shine Eric always brings the fun factor. And in the afternoons he’ll return with an update from the field and what Hector has been up to. Hector simply loves seeing him as he does Mia and his other carers . They are a great team together and I couldn’t ask for better care for Hector.

Our pup Inca has been a regular for 3 years and loves it - plenty of space, field with dogs her size and lovely staff. The carers in her field are fabulous - she adores them and my mind is at rest knowing she gets to spend all day with such a caring group. A special shout out for Inca’s driver, Eric. He’s reliable, a great driver (manoeuvres the van better than anyone else on our tricky drive) and safety conscious. Friendly and chatty, but not intrusive; we’re very comfortable to have him in our home. Inca’s rolling around on the floor “performance” every time he arrives to collect her speaks for itself at how much she loves him :) Eric goes above and beyond - checking in if she’s been unwell and doing little things to make Inca feel like the most special dog and we’re beyond grateful.

Burt and Fifi attend Bruce's - and it has made the world of difference for them. Before they used to get worried about other dogs but now, with the awesome team at Bruce's, topped by the undoubtebly awesome Pete, they are now both much happier. With the doggy bus picking them up and dropping the off, it leaves us humans able to get on with the day knowing the dogs have had a run and a hug from all the fantastic staff at Bruce's. I think it is one of the best things we have done which benefits both myself, wife and the dogs. We are all most impressed with Bruce's.

Mila joined Bruce’s when she was 4 months old. She grew up there and it’s where she learned to socialise with other dogs. The best thing about Bruce’s were their drivers. Each of them so lovely, attentive and caring. Mila would be so excited to see them and I wish I could bottle those moments for her. Big shout out to Eric who was the last driver and most amazing and kind human. Mila misses you a lot. Why 4 stars? The ending was bittersweet and I think the management team could have done much much better than they did. It was not at all the service you would expect when you pay so much for care for your fur babies. We tried not to let it impact our overall view of Mila’s time at Bruce’s as we have met some fantastic driver carers along the way. We thank Eric for making the end so much nicer for Mila. She plays with her monkey all the time and we have named him Eric ☺️.

Astra previously attended Bruce’s and her favourite part of the entire day was her bus driver Eric. Astra doesn’t take well to many people but she absolutely LOVES Eric. He always treated her as if she was his own dog and they built a very special bond, it was comforting to know that someone at Bruce’s loved Astra as much as we do. :)

Our 6 year old Labrador has been attending Bruce’s since he was 12 weeks old. He loves it, we love it. He’s collected each booked day by Cat Smith, his fabulous, doggy bus driver & dropped home safely if we’re still at work. Bruce’s has helped with his socialisation, we have had 1:1 obidience training, we get weekly photos, we get him groomed at their doggy parlour & each summer they hold a pawrents open day for us to see where he plays, snoozes & meet some of his friends (human & canine!). Bruce’s is the best!

Bruces its such a blessing in busy lives. The staff, communication and attention to detail (and fun) are real highlights. Everyone is so excited to see our driver Dominika in the morning. She has been wonderful and epitomise’s the Bruces caring culture, where everyday is a fun day.

Theres no where else we'd take our pup, he loves it. The staff are all amazing, especially Peter who picks him up in the morning and Rachel one of his field carers!! They take such care of him and clearly love him just as much as we do. Thank you all :)

Kieran is absolutely brilliant with our dog. He’s reliable, really cares about animals, takes him for such great walks and even sends brilliant pictures. I know Milo is in such safe hands when we are at work and loved as much as we love him. I highly recommend Kieran for his very reasonable and excellent service.

Kieran (Ace Buddies Pet Care) is simply amazing! Our dogs, Suki and Lupo, absolutely adore him. He's always there when we need him, and we trust him completely. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker in the area, Kieran is the one to go with!

Kieran has been so good for Milo. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to you. I was very worried about returning to work after having had a career break. I wanted someone for Milo who felt like part of the family popping in to take him for a walk. That is exactly how Kieran works. Milo is so well looked after and so happy. Thank you.

Kieran gave excellent care to our two guinea pigs while we were on holiday. He loves animals and we felt very happy leaving our pets with him. His small animal boarding facilities are excellent. Would highly recommend.

Ace Buddies has been amazingly reliable for Layla. Kieran has never let me down and I always know she is in good hands. I never worry about her. She was introduced to Ace Buddies as a German Shepherd puppy and has grown to be a playful, well behaved and confident dog who loves humans. I give ace buddies much credit in this. Kieran is always amazing with Layla and clearly a dog lover. Thank you Ace Buddies.

Kieran has been great - really friendly and reliable, trustworthy, local and reasonably priced. I've been happy with his help in walking my dog and will certainly use his dog care services again. I would definitely recommend Kieran :)

Kieran has been great with our dog Tinker. Introducing him to other dogs on his walk has really helped him and he always sends us picture of him when he’s out. Kieran is professional and totally trustworthy.

Kieran is amazing with my dog (a young, questionably behaved labradoodle pup). Kieran’s enthusiasm and love for animals is evident as soon as you meet him, and his flexibility around dog walks has been a godsend. I would 100% recommend his services to everyone. Thank you so much Kieran!

We are so happy that we've found Kieran to watch after our bunnies when traveling. He is such a nice guy, and you can tell he really loves animals! The bunnies were well taken care of and we would highly recommend Keiran to anyone looking for someone to look after their fur babies.

I cannot speak highly enough of Kieran's truly good natured and professional approach. Every time he has walked my dog, I receive positive feedback which speaks volumes in itself as Gemma can be a bit fussy and challenging to say the least! He has clearly managed to form a rapport with her whilst ensuring she doesn't misbehave! I was also relieved to find someone who is affordable compared to some other dog walkers. Kieran has been wonderfully supportive and needless to say I would recommend Ace Buddies to anyone!
