Dog Sitters in Earlsferry

I had no need to worry. Dillon my spaniel puppy adores Dawn and her dedicated staff. Genuine dog friendly people with a fountain of knowledge in all Canine care. Absolutely excellent.

My dogs have been going to Dawn’s kennels regularly for over a year now. The main sign that they are happy is when we arrive they pull and tug to get in! It’s a busy buzzy place and the staff are delightful

1 have 2 cockapoos with very different coats and the girls there groom them brilliantly! I know if I brush them they’ll get a beauty cut, and if I don’t then they need short all over to take off the matts and re grow the curls. I trust their judgement and my dogs are comfortable with them. Thanks for fitting me in at such short notice Hayley ❤️ I’d definately recommend, in fact I did to a lady with a black lab in kilrenny yesterday! Thanks ladies 😍

Always take my lhasa apso vinnie for a wash and trim, he doesn't usually let strangers pick him up, but he loves a visit to dawns. Never disappointed with the staff or the cut (even when I ask for somthing silly) , would always recommend Dawns

I will say that I don’t have my own dog here at dawns kennels but I do pick up my sisters dog Bruno up often. Every time I have gone to either pick him up or drop him off, the girls are amazing with him, very professional and caring, they know Bruno very well and knows what he likes and his dislikes which to my sister means a lot.

My dog went to the kennels for overnight stays and all his grooming. He absolutely loved all the girls, although he had a real soft spot for Emma! It was definitely his favourite place to go. The staff were genuinely upset when he passed away. I would never take my dog anywhere else. My new puppy shall be starting her day care visits as soon as her vaccinations are up to date. I would not take my dogs anywhere else and I certainly wouldn't let them board anywhere but Elie. If Dawn and her staff don't have space to keep my dog I don't go!

My dog looks absolutely beautiful wouldn’t use anyone else there great with her piper loves her visit to dawn! Thank you ladies 💜 …

My dog has been going K9 for over 3 years, both for grooming and using the kennels. I recommend them to everyone and wouldn’t consider putting my dogs anywhere else. My puppy is going to start going soon, along side my dog and I know that she will love it. All of the staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful with everything!

Bella absolutely loves it here for day care! Excited as soon as we pull into the drive. Always treated by staff as one of their own. Staff always able to give advice too on concerns. Bella also loves her pamper days. Visited a couple of places but this is the one Bella was most relaxed in. Thank you to all the staff.

We've used Dawn's kennels twice now, 1st visit was for a few days but this recent "doggy holiday" was a full week. Our dog Chip is so well looked after and has a great time with all the other dogs. I highly recommend K9 Grooming & Boarding and the wonderful staff!

Elaine was fantastic, my two cats went into the cattery for the first time for 9 days in the 5-6 years I have had them, both were very well looked after and had regular updates with pictures when asked how they were doing. Definitely going back in the future 😃😺 …

Elaine is dedicated to all her feline companions. I’m never concerned about leaving my cat Alistair when I travel down South. Elaine is a lovely, kind, friendly person. Cats are well cared within a clean and hygienic cattery.

Elaine takes wonderful care of all the cats that come to visit. I feel very reassured leaving my cat with her and it's a lovely clean environment with plenty of space. Definitely recommend!

Elaine looked after our 2 cats while we were away for a week and she did a fantastic job. Our cats don't get on together and needed separate cages. Their area was spotlessly clean and warm. They were very comfortable. Elaine gave them toys to play with and they did play with them which was a big surprise to us, as they don't play with anything at home. Definitely wouldn't go anywhere else.

Fabulous cattery! We were always happy to leave our cat with Elaine. She’s so lovely and is great with the kitties, so much so that our cat stuck close to her at pick up time and didn’t want to leave. She found it embarrassing but I thought it was the best sign! The cattery is clean and bright and all the enclosures have window sills with views. I hope we will find another cattery as good now we’ve moved.

I do not have words of appreciation and gratitude high enough! My three cats spent 2.5 months at Elaine’s Holiday Home when we moved abroad and before we were able to relocate them. I found them happy and relaxed, with lush coats and in perfect health. Elaine is the most amazing lady, very helpful and accommodating, and a absolutely lovely. Cannot recommend high enough! Once again thank you, Elaine!

Perfect cattery in a lovely peaceful area, owned and run by a caring, knowledgeable owner. Excellent, we have used this cattery for over 20 years.

Such a lovely, warm and welcoming place for cats to stay, highly recommend cats are very well looked after at all time by Elaine my cat enjoys staying here.

Lovely wee cattery, very clean and bright. The cats are safe, very well cared for and looked after. Would definitely come back to it.

Had my 2 cats in here for there holidays and the lady was very nice and toke care of them . Definitely be booking again when I go away .

Had a stress free holiday thanks to pets on the beach. Very professional. Buster so enjoyed his time their thanks to the photos and the videos of play days. Highly recommended. He can't wait for next one.

All the Team at POTB are brilliant with the Dogs, Highly Recommend … Radley 🐾🐾 Patiently waiting on getting picked up for his walk/field play, he loves it… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …

Barking Mad is an excellent service! I have used Barking Mad for a number of years for my dogs and I've never been disappointed. Our dogs have been very well looked after and when the van pulls up to collect them there is great excitement from them about going on holiday! Elaine and John are genuinely caring towards the dogs and we leave them feeling confident that they will be well looked after and have a great time! Thoroughly recommend.

I have been a Barking Mad Host and service user for almost 20 years. Elaine and John are the third owners I have worked with and not only are they lovely people, they are by far the most enthusiastic, committed owners of the service. Not only do they ensure dogs have a fabulous holiday in appropriate surroundings, they have developed a very caring community for the Hosts. All your lovely dogs are looked after so well in their holiday homes.

After a bad experience with dog care some years ago, I thought I would never go on holiday again – until I found Barking Mad. My pooch has some quirky habits which require particular care and attention – John and Elaine came to the house to meet him, took note of everything down to the smallest detail and found the perfect host who catered for all his needs. I went to visit my family in New Zealand and had heaps of text messages, photos and video showing my dog out on lovely walks, having lots of fun and looking totally relaxed. I have already booked my next holiday and have every confidence that with Barking Mad, my dog will receive the same care, attention and love that he gets at home. I can’t rate this organisation highly enough, they are simply the best.

I cannot recommend barking mad fife enough. When your going on holiday you want your furry friend to be looked after the same way you look after them at home. You want peace of mind and reassurance, this is exactly what Elaine and John provide. No detail is missed out and they cover absolutely everything with you in a 2 hour initial meeting before they board your dog. Our dog has joint issues which can limit some activities, this issue was 100% taken on board while our dog was in Elaine and Johns care. I think it’s important to know any health issues your dog may have will be looked after correctly. You’ll receive updates with photos when you are away- chances are your furry friend is also having a 5 star luxury holiday of their own! The service is second to none and worth every penny. I cannot rate Elaine and John highly enough.

Since we first used John and Elaine at Barking Mad to look after our Gordon Setter "Floyd" for six weeks in 2017 we would not consider placing him anywhere else. He loves going with them and has the time of his life running with the pack in the hills and swimming in the sea. While he's away we get regular pictures and videos sent so we can see how happy he is. We would have no hesitation recommending them even for long stays. Peter and Maureen.

Our last dog Trey, a ‘silver surfer’ was always looked after so well and loved his holibags with Elaine and John. He was a withdrawn guide dog who had bad arthritic legs who just loved people and we worried how he would be staying with others. We needn’t have worried as he loved every second and was always cared for to our exact needs regarding his food and medication. When we lost him our two new girls who are rescue labradors now go on holiday with them too. As I am now disabled it was a huge worry for me that if I had to do anything at short notice, who would look after my dogs? I am so lucky that Elaine and John have always gone the extra mile for me when I have needed care for the girls at very short notice sometimes so that this now is not an issue. If anyone is considering dog care I would say let your dogs go on holiday with John and Elaine. You can have total peace of mind to enjoy whatever you are doing in the knowledge that your fur babies will be having a blast with the best care possible and being treated as part of a family with all their home comforts.

This is a wonderful service, run and owned by 2 devoted dog lovers. Elaine and John are friendly, caring and very professional people, they ensure that you and your dogs safety, comfort any special needs are their main priority. We were extremely happy with every aspect of the service they provided, which allowed my Wife and I to enjoy our break/holiday away, knowing that our 'Kizzi' was safe and happy! Many thanks to you both and we will be using your service anytime we ever wish to go away, when we are unable to take Kizzi.

Excellent service provided by wonderful and devoted staff. Nothing is too much for them as in our case when our pooch has to go to the vets, as she does once a month, it is no hassle whilst we are on holiday. Her dog sitter is excellent as well and we know that the dog is being well cared for. Keep up the good work and I would recommend them to anyone.

Isla y loved her wee holidays with Barking mad. So much that she is jumping up to get into John's car.John and Elaine are fully committed to what they do. It is obvious they both love it. Would definitely recommend Barking Mad. The host's are equally committed to ensuring your wee precious has fun and is cared for.🐩🐩

Once again I would like to thank John and Elaine for their exceptional service and dedication they gave us recently with Flora. Also cannot thank them enough for helping us out at such short notice for my father in laws funeral. Lynne,Alan,Emma and not forgetting Nugget are wonderful hosts. Flora came back bouncy, full of life and started eating without me having to remind her. Whenever Flora sees the bag and the car draws up to fetch her she cannot contain her excitement. Keep up your good work. Elaine and John as we do not know what we would do without your services.x

Very happy with Ewan and Annie. Our dogs have stayed with them for a week before and were well cared for and happy. They always let us know well in advance of any holidays they may be taking and are good at getting in touch of either dog is not quite right. I would highly recommend Loch Leven Petcare!

Anne and Ewan checked in on our indoor cat while we were getting married over a weekend and they were brilliant. Kept us up to date every visit with photos of Rùm which put our minds at ease as we’d never left him on his own overnight before. Would definitely ask Anne and Ewan to look after him again. Thank you both.

Annie & Ewan have been walking our two dogs since they started, and they recently had them for a week while we went on our our first foreign holiday in years. Annie & Ewan have built a great relationship with our two, who can be challenging at times being rescues, so we had no qualms about leaving them there. We got daily updates and photos which put our minds at rest, and it is clear that the dogs love both the walks and staying over. Highly recommend them for their friendly, personal, caring approach, they are clearly dog people first and foremost.

Annie and Ewan have looked after our cat in our home a few times. Their service is superb. The updates of how she is getting on together with photos/videos is a great touch and loved by all of us. We will definitely be booking their services the next time we go away.

Our puppy went for a 4 night stay at Loch Leven Petcare and i felt so reaussred as the communication from them was great prior to her stay and whilst she was there, even sending lots of pictures. Absolutely amazing and we will definitely use Loch Leven Petcare again in the future. Highly reccomend. Thank you !

Annie and Ewan reassured us and kept us updated with pictures of Harry, when he stayed while we were on holiday. Even his yucky raw food was not a problem. He is a big dog and his tail can be quite a weapon, I understand he is a lot to take on and I over fuss but he genuinely seemed happy staying there, I was reassured by their experience of dogs.

No hesitation in recommending Loch Leven Petcare. From my initial enquiry they were professional but friendly too. I was looking for a week long holiday home for our young Cavapoo. They offered a couple of 'practice' nights away which put both me and my dog at ease. In fact my dog was obviously excited to be back when I dropped her off! I know they looked after her well, keeping her busy with walks and playtime. The updates and photos while we were away were an added bonus. I will definitely be using Annie and Ewan again.

We were looking for dog boarding for our dog Millie at short notice and over the Christmas period. Ewan and Anne were recommended to us on a Facebook community group and when we got in touch we found they were very helpful and friendly. They cared for Millie like she was their own and sent us plenty of updates and photos during her stay. We now use Loch Leven Petcare for regular walks and we couldn't be happier with the service. They even have a tracking tag they use on Millie's collar, so they can show us on a map how far she has ran on her walk! If you love your pet, you'll love these guys!

Had read some great reviews on the local community page and got in touch with Annie and Ewan. They replied very promptly with links to the forms we needed to fill in for Jack and Finn. What was so brilliant though was that they wanted to meet our dogs in their own home to get an idea of what they were like. Both Annie and Ewan spent a lot of time playing and talking to our boys, Ewan even sat on the floor whilst Finn jumped all over him. The boys had a great time and we were both so delighted that they were with a couple who really loved dogs. Already planning their next stay - Highly recommend...

We left Nellie with Annie and Ewan while we went to a wedding. It was our first visit to the area and we were a little concerned about leaving her, especially as she has not been left since the first lockdown. We needn’t have worried. We got updates about how she was settling and pictures. She got walked and cuddled and we are hoping to leave her again on our next visit.

Julie took fantastic care of our dog Islay when we went on holiday, she sent us daily updates and pictures of all the activities she did with islay. She even bought her a new Kong ball when islay lost her original. She clearly has a passion for what she does and is extremely professional and capable. Would highly recommend and will be definitely using her services again

Would highly recommend Julia to look after your dog. She looked after our puppy for 4 weeks and will definitely be sending Lexie back to her when we go on our next holiday. She sent us regular photos and updates and kept us informed when Lexie had a mild reaction to some salmon oil. Lexie had an amazing time with her and would love to go back! 10/10.

I would highly recommend Julia to everyone who loves their dogs. Julia was looking after my dog for a couple of days and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I have been receiving regular updates about Lexi and photos from her daily activities. Knowing that Lexi was so well looked after allowed me to enjoy my time away from her. Lexi came back home very happy too. Julia is amazing in what she is doing and you can see all dogs loves her too.

Our beagle x Luna has now stayed with Julia 3 times and I now wouldn't think of placing her anywhere else whilst we go away. Luna has been to kennels once and it was completely the wrong situation for her but now we have found Julia we no longer worry if she's OK. We have just got Luna back after a 5 night stay and she is a very happy doggy. After her stay in kennels last tear she was very different with us and had developed some bad habits. Now when she goes to Julia's she is dragging us to her door and is still the same dog upon return. This time she didn't even notice we had gone, she ran off to play immediately. Julia sends us updates everyday, letting us know she's getting the best care. Luna is treated like one of Julia's own, Luna adores her. You won't find a better place for your fur baby than with Julia.

This is the 3rd time I’ve left my Kobe with Julia. It was my first time leaving Kobe so I was very anxious. From the very start , Julia put me at ease and she took Kobe for a few sleepovers before we left him for his holiday. Julia, is absolutely fantastic, I feel totally content when I leave Kobe with Julia. It’s just home from home. She is so good to him, he gets loads of walks, attention and snuggles. Her own dogs are absolutely adorable 🥰. Julia, keeps me well updated, she sends me loads of pics and videos which I absolutely love , he always looks so happy and getting these just makes my day. I highly recommend Julia, I wouldn’t leave my Kobe with anyone else now. Thank you so so much Julia for being so kind and caring to my baby boy and looking after him so well for us! Kobe is looking forward to his next stay with you. Xx 😘

Julia has been amazing with our Nyra. She updated us everyday and was super good to our girl. You can tell she loves dogs, not only the experience she has but the love is important too. I’m so happy we’ve found someone who Nyra loves. She looks super happy in all photos and is well taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else now. Fair prices, excellent service and cares for her clients. Thanks Julia.

Julia was looking after our dog for about 2 weeks and we could not be more happy with care that our dog received. We have been updated with photos and activities on a daily basis. Really recommend Julia’s service and definitely will get in touch in the future.

Our dog mollie had a lovely time with Julia and her dogs! Julia was in regular communication throughout and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Would highly recommend and I’ll definitely be using Julia’s services again!

I was attending a wedding and needed a dog sitter (I live in Cheshire) Julia was recommended to me and she did an excellent job looking after my 10 month old pup, who can be a bit timid at times. He had an afternoon of fun and adventures. I loved getting photo updates of what he was doing. I would use Julia again if I needed her.

My pups had a great time with Julia. It was their first time away from home so I was a bit nervous but no need as Julia sent me photos and videos of them having a great time. Would definitely recommend!

Dogs absolutely loved it and took great care of them,think Misty and Skye be fine with us going on holiday now

Absolutely brilliant place and best for miles - believe me we’ve tried them. Morven and the team are excellent and love our dog like their own. I really can’t recommend highly enough.

Our dogs have been coming to Paw Prints since they were pups. Paw prints is a second home to our dogs’ & our boys always love going, I’m sure for all the long country walks & all the animal loving staff who work there. We have our dogs in for doggy day care and also for overnights too, which is always accommodated (us usually last minute requests by us!) We can’t rate paw prints any higher!

Brilliant place for piece of mind for your dogs all shapes and sizes to be well looked after and cared for with the experienced friendly staff here. Dog get walked well in the farm fields. Unfortunately my two wee dogs got kennel cough here. Even though I had them kennel cough vaccinated but it's just one of them things I suppose...

Absolutely fantastic find. The mutt always comes back exhausted, well walked and happy. All staff have good chat and clearly enjoy the pooches. Thanks for giving Hamish a hose down too: top service! x

If you like your dog outside running in the fields and splashing in muddy water with other dogs then this is the place for it. All staff are extremely caring, helpful and enthusiastic. We have used them for overnight and day care and found these kennels to be excellent.

Great doggy day care. Fabulous location. Staff who really care. Best thing is our dog gets to share a kennel with a variety of other dogs which is so important for socialisation with other dogs and also all the different people who drop off and collect. It doesn't get better. Our dog goes because she loves it!

Love these kennels. These are people who really understand dogs and have such a unique way of doing things. I picked Ziva up just as they came back from a walk one day and she was covered in mud from running around the field but normally when I pick her up slightly later she is nice and clean as they do wash them after walks. And even though she had not yet been washed she did not have that nasty kennel smell. And no, it is not squalid as someone else commented, the kennels are nice and clean and heated at night but the area around it can be rather muddy as it is on a farm and it is in Scotland....it rains a lot. I feel totally at ease leaving my dog at Paw Prints, she is well looked after and gets socialised which she really needs.

My daughter took her dog with her to sus the place out as she needs to put her dog in kennels for a couple of weeks, she seemed well impressed by the facilities and the freedom the dogs have.

Dropped my dog off for one nights stay, She was not left where I asked her to be, I asked for her to be left in the small concrete cells as she is a timid dog you moved her to the loud over crowded cell. You did not feed her the right amount of food, you over her fed her by two portions so did not listen when you asked me about my dog and her needs. You allowed her bed to be ruined by not drying her off after her supposed 'long walk' therefor the bed was damp and stunk of dirt. When we picked her up her bone was left in a puddle of dirty water not with my dog which I retrieved myself. My first time leaving my dog in a kennels and I will not be doing it again. You pay £13 to lock you dog up in a dirty concrete box for 24 hrs. She has come out barking at other dogs which she has never done before. I reccomend you dont rely on the 5* reviews of any kennel especially this one.

Just Picked up my two happy boy's, who clearly enjoyed the wee holiday at Puddledub Kennels. The guys at the Kennels are very friendly and helpful and clearly they all love dogs as my Two Springers Albert and George were happy to be with them all. Kennels are clean and tidy and all dogs are well looked after. This was the 1st time ever leaving our dogs in Kennels and I would definitely use puddledub kennels again. Thank you sooo much to you all 😊

Absolutely brilliant. Staff love the dogs and give them a lot of time, over and above what is necessary! Can't praise them enough ❤️❤️❤️

Our 2 kittens were very well looked after at Puddledub while we went on a weekend away. 2 happy and content wee boys. Great value for money and the staff were lovely. Will definitely use them again.

The first time we've used Puddlebub Kennels, very good impression. When we dropped him off and picked him up, there was plenty of staff around to help, all of them very friendly. He'd obviously had a good experience as he was his usual happy cheerful self when we picked him up. Will use again for sure.

My dogs love this place, staff are friendly and take good care of your pets

Absolutely brilliant place for my dog to go and I know he is safe and well looked after. Alan, Michelle and their son Andrew are just amazing with all the animals they look after. Caring and thoughtful. The staff they have working with them are just a fabulous team.

Great kennels, Michelle and the team always look after your pets well.

Collected our big boy this morning. This is his second stay here - well looked after again, cared for - happy boy. Staff are amazing 👏 until the next time. Thank you 😊 …

Left my dog last year for a week, nice team. I'm getting back this year for sure. Good pricing and a good place, open space for dog walk and sunny (safe) spaces for the dog to stay outside.

Amazing with our dog while we were away on holiday in july

Our 5 month old puppy came home calm, happy and more socialised after 5 days in a Barking Mad home. Lovely hosts who took great care. A really good thing to do to get a young pup used to being away from home. Thank you! The Bells

Thank you!

I have used Veronica’s dog walking and dog daycare services for in excess of eight years. The service is fantastic. Megan loves going to meet all her doggie friends and loves Veronica. The dogs get a variety of walks and activities. Veronica has a lovely approach and bond with all the dogs and is so dependable. Highly recommend About A Dog.

Veronica is a dog whisperer! She looked after my German Shepherd for a week and when i took him back he was totally chilled, had learned new training and walked so much better on the lead! She treats the dogs like her own and clearly loves her job. Cant recommend her highly enough!

Veronica has been walking our dog Bear twice a week for the last 4 years. We have also boarded Bear with her on several occasions. Bear loves her walks with Veronica - we are completely happy with the service and would highly recommend Veronica to anyone.

Veronica was great with my dog. It was the first time she had been away from me overnight and she came back happy. She was also tired after a long rural walk and had great fun socialising with the other dogs.

An excellent service. Veronica has been a great adviser to me in relation to training my dog. Nothing is a problem to her, and the dog loves being with her.

Our dogs have been walked by Veronica for many years. She is warm, friendly and is professional in going about her job. We would highly recommend.

I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else, Veronica is a genuine dog lover and ours love staying with her. They sometimes seem a little reluctant to come back with us!

Fantastic operator. Has a very friendly manner with my dogs. Flexible and reliable. Top draw.

My dogs love their walks with About a Dog and always come home with waggy tails.

Lovely & genuine dog lover who provides a first class service. Highly recommend

Absolutely the best decision we made getting Jemina to walk our fur baby. Our old dog walker was great, but he was walked on his own and on the lead. We noticed though he just wasn’t a happy boy and wasn’t excited about his walks. He now sits at the door and goes nuts when he sees Jemina, as he knows he is getting out to play with his furry friends. He is happy, safe and now loving his walks. We get updates on her Facebook page and can see how happy he is. Highly recommend Jemina x

I must say after using Jemima’s company it’s saved me a lot of agro! My dogs are always very relaxed and happy after a walk with Jemima. I couldn’t recommend her services enough and thanks so much for everything you are doing Jemima! I’m really looking forward to having them stay with you eventually whenever I go away on holiday!

I bought my retriever Milo to fife doggy home care last week for a trial walk. I get quite nervous to leave him anywhere as he is a bit anxious around new settings/ people. From the moment I dropped him off he was confident and comfortable and obsessed with Jemima. When I returned for pick up after the walk he hardly wanted to leave (slightly offended 😂). I would recommend to anyone in need of dog walking/ assistance. Thanks again for all your help! Can’t wait for when he can stay with you whilst we are away skiing! 🩷

Just a note, Jemima, to say how incredibly proud of you I am for leaving the rat-race and setting up this business: doing what you love! You are very knowledgeable about all things dog, and I couldn't be prouder of the responsible and compassionate young woman you have become. I would absolutely recommend your services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and reliable dog walker. Keep up the fantastic work! Love Mum X

Jemima is a brilliant dog walker and my boy loves her. She is professional, reliable and caring, and she really makes an effort to ensure my boy has a great time. Thanks, Jemima! It’s reassuring to know he’s in great hands! Xx

Jemima is a natural, well informed and calm dog walker. Whilst out dog walking with Jemima I've observed her interaction and friendly nature with all dogs. The walk is all about the dogs as she focuses on each individual dog and their surroundings and can call them to heel, when necessary, to keep them safe. Jemima is confident, patient and fun to be around especially with dogs.

Jemima’s services are brilliant! Continues to impress. Very efficient drop off and pick up system for walking my dog, would highly recommend!

Jamima is such a nice caring person and loves her animals. Has a lot of patients with dogs. Highly recommend

Very happy to recommend Fife Doggy Homecare, Jemima provides very caring, responsible and intuitive dog-centered care.

Very happy to recommend Fife Doggy Homecare, Jemima is great with dogs, she really understands them.
