Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan & Nataki
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly & Thomas
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian & Susan
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Tamar
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Julia
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
Amanda
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!

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Kim & Brian
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Susan
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!
Sarah
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Sharon
Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person. It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time. She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us. The house was perfect when she left.
Sidney & Larry
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
June
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

My dog Rosie has attended DDD since she was around 4 months old. It was a brilliant place for her to socialise as a puppy. Now age 2 she still goes twice per week and for occasional over night stays. Mark and Sindy are very reliable and nothing is too much trouble. I always feel reassured that Rosie is safe and well cared for and she is always happy to go which tells me she she enjoys her time there. I would highly recommend DDD for anyone looking for doggy daycare.
Highly Recommend Dumfries Doggie Daycare, we decided to try our Mini Schnauzer with Mark & Sindy as he didn't interact very much with other dogs, didn't play with toys etc & just over excited by other dogs, he is a different dog now, toys, toys, toys & plays well with others. Professional service, completely relaxed leaving our Woody with them.
Our dog hates kennels, but loves Dumfries Doggy Daycare. It is a great weight off our minds on holiday knowing she is so well looked after. There is lots for her to do in the garden and places inside for a bit of peace and quiet. We also get regular photos and updates to see how settled she is.
My miniature schnauzer loves going to Dumfries Doggy Day Care. He loves Mark and Cindy and the opportunities he gets there to socialise with other dogs. The outside area is large and has lots of equipment that provides stimulation for the dogs and a warm comfortable inside area for relaxing or wet days! As an owner I find Mark and Cindy very approachable and accomodating to any requests out of my usual pattern. I would highly recommend their service if you are considering day care for your dog!
We used Dumfries Doggy Daycare for our two Sprocker Spaniel pups until they were old enough and mature enough to be left for longer periods on their own. We also used their stayover service which was fab too. It was great for puppy socialising, learning skills and was like home from home! They loved it. Sindy and Mark were great at giving us regular updates too. We were able to go to work knowing that they were being looked after so well. We would recommend Dumfries Doggy Daycare to anyone looking for doggy care, genuine peace of mind that their furry friends are being looked after well, and for those looking for the best start for their pups.
For anyone looking for a home from home for their beloved pups - look no further! Sindy, Mark & their own pups are the friendliest bunch. They welcomed our cocker spaniel Steve with love and lots of attention. Steve runs into Dumfries Doggy daycare every time we go - we can just tell he is well looked after and stimulated. He is one happy exhausted Pooch when he comes home. The other dogs are friendly and the team do a great job of vetting owners, and meeting/integrating new dogs Steve with their pack. They really took the time to get to know us and our dog. We couldn’t recommend them more highly - just a fantastic and what are you waiting for?!
Our Dachshund pup Otto has been going to Mark and Sindy since August and he absolutely loves it. They take such great care of him and I am so confident he is being properly looked after. Mark and Sindy are very professional about their work and passionate about what they do.
Tried a few other places within the town and the surrounding area before coming here. They look after our dog once a week and she knows when she is to go as she waits by our front door on drop off day. She runs down the road to their premises which is a good sign! The overnight service is great too, the dog stays in the house with them so I know she is safe, warm and happy. Best place in town by far.
Great environment for dogs, our pug is ways excited to go to Doggie Daycare and always comes away super tired from all the fun she's had. Highly recommend!
Lola has been going to Dumfries doggie day care for a few weeks now, absolutely great service Mark and Sindy provide excellent care and attention to each dogs individual needs would highly recommend them to anyone looking for daycare or boarding it really is all about the dogs .Lola loves it.

I kenneled my pup there for 4 days I would highly recommend I Wouldn't use any other kennel now. wouldn't 0woulsnt use any other ..i
Tried to contact them numerous times via numerous methods but never get a response. Disappointing.
We dropped off our 2 dogs on a Friday at 16:30 and collected them on Sunday at 16:00. When we booked on the phone we were told that we could collect the dogs at 12 on the Sunday but everything was locked up when we arrived so we had to come back later in the afternoon. This added a 40 mile round trip to our day. When we returned we were asked for £63 on top of the £54 deposit already paid. This seemed excessive so we questioned it. We were then told it would be £54. The initial price quoted was £18 per dog, per day. The cost should therefore have been £72. We were charged £108. For a stay of less than 48 hours I consider this excessive and will therefore not use this facility again. SO, JUST RECEIVED A REPSONSE FROM THE OWNER BLAMING ME FOR NOT READING THE SMALL PRINT. I STILL GOT CHARGED 3 DAYS FOR LESS THAN 48 HOURS SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE BEFORE BOOKING HERE OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET A NASTY EXPENSIVE SURPRISE.
Nice and friendly staff. The cattery section looks fantastic. Nice big area for the cats to stay in and a good long runabout corridor for some exercise. Will definitely be booking our furrball in here next time we go away (if I can ever get over the guilt 🤣). …
7 month old kitten seamed unfazed by his 3 night stay. Was in good condition physically at pick up and didn't seem at all psychologically upset. Settled quickly at home. Appeared back to normal after a couple of hours. Will have no qualms at using this facility again.
Really good wee kennels friendly staff
The previous time when we used Mabie Forest Kennels for our Jack Russell was in September 2019 for 2 nights. She really loved it and was very sad to leave it. We booked another stay for 16 nights in February/March as I had to go abroad. I tried contacting them about 150 times and only 2 phone calls were successfull telling me that my dog was doing great and was eating normally. When we got back and went to take her, we had to pay first the rest of the amount and then the staff brought the dog all skinny, stinking and hair was falling. I could actually see the ribs through the skin. Took her to the vets and turns out she has conjunctivitis either from bad hygiene or from another dog. She slept like a baby for 3 days after that. I understand that it must be stress for some dogs to stay at the kennels but I could at least get a phone call from the staff to let me know that she was not doing so great as I left an emergency phone number in case someone had to take her back. Honestly I could never leave my dog there again.
My cat Pip loves his holidays' here. Steph, Connor & team are really good with him which is a relief to know as he's quite a timid house cat. They go & sit in his chalet with him & treat him to tuna. They are very accommodating & have come to mine & Pip's rescue in unforeseen circumstances a few times now. On top of this he is on regular medication because he has a medical condition & this doesn't phase them either. He tells me all about his holiday on his return home.
Our dog and cat receive excellent care and attention at Mabie Kennels. Boris the cat has his own "chalet" inside a heated building and has an upstairs and downstairs! Baxter the poodle is obviously very fond of the staff which I take to be a mark of how well looked after he is. Having him shampooed and dried for only £10 on the day we come home is an extra bonus and the staff are always welcoming and friendly.
Winston is an English bulldog who goes to the mabie kennel whenever we are on holiday, he loves it. We are find of him so his care is very important to us and at Mabie he is very well looked after and enjoys playing with the other dogs.

Thanks so much to Kari and family for looking after our Tav at their beautiful home Wild Tides. This is the first time we have left him with someone other than family, but we felt so reassured as Kari kept us updated with regular photos and texts. He even got to sleep on the couch! We will definitely use this service again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a ‘home from home’ environment for their precious dog❤️
Our spaniel boy has the best time at Wild Tides. Kari is great with dogs and sends photos and videos. Would 100% recommend!
Hi, first overnight stay for Hamish, and would thoroughly recommend as made Hamish very welcome into a dog loving home.

Super place....my dog is 8 and a nervous rescue...never been in kennels during the 7 years I've had her, so I was anxious about leaving her....but Viv came highly recommend to me by another protective mum! My dog loved her overnight stay and I'm more relaxed about leaving her for longer next time....thankyou both😘 …
We left our 2 whippet Joey and Oscar at damhead whilst we went on holiday. They were so loved and looked after. Very well exercised and plenty of night time snuggles. Nothing was too much hassle as this was the first time we had left our pampered pooches and anytime we contacted we got a timely response in checking in about the dogs. Couldn't recommend highly enough. It's hard to put your trust in people when it comes to your pets but i would definitely trust viv and the team now to care for them when needed. Location was nice and rural which suits our 2 to a tea. Excellent local kennel service. Hidden treasure. Thanks again.
Very good care of my very old cat, including seeking telephone advice from his usual vet when he was unwell. Quiet rural location, but road up is narrow, so not ideal for caravans or motorhome, although turning space and ample parking once you get there. Staff very friendly and helpful.
We recently placed our kitten Elsie at Damhead Cattery and Kennels and cannot recommend them more highly. The staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming when we dropped her off taking great care to ascertain any requirements she may have. We loved the photo’s that were posted daily on their Facebook page of how our own pet and others were enjoying their time there. It is clear that Elsie has been extremely well cared for and given lots of attention. We will most definitely be using Damhead Cattery and Kennels again in the future.
Nicer more hard working dedicated people you will never meet. You can literally see how much they truly care for ALL the pets in their care, I would not place my wee monkey puzzles with anyone else. Genuinely lovely humans....❤🐾 …
My Maggie trotts off to stay at Damhead kennels so confidently....I can go away knowing my fur baby is in safe hands.......Fantastic boarding kennels...couldn't be without them 💙 🐾 🐾 🐾 …
Not the first time we've used Damhead for our cats. Staff always very friendly & polite. Happy with the way our cats seem to have been looked after during their stay there. Only downside is, for longer stays, we would prefer slightly larger runs so our cats had a bit more freedom. Overall very happy & would definitely take our cats here again.
Our dog loved going to stay here. She has to be on daily medication which was no problem for Damhead. She's come back a very happy dog and would reccomend them
We left our Retriever at Damhead Kennels overnight, and we picked him up today. Very friendly helpful staff, and Percy had clearly been well looked after. Highly recommended!
We have been using these Kennels for almost two years - one word Brilliant - our dog needs meds every day and nothing is a problem. Even when hubby broke his ankle last year in 3 places they came to our home and picked our beloved dog up - cannot praise them enough. Staff are just the best.
