Dog Sitters in Hanley Swan

Louise has walked my two dogs twice a week for nearly two years now and has been excellent, very reliable and the dogs have a great time and enjoy the company of Louise and the other dogs. Would 100% recommend.

I would thoroughly recommend Louise at Hanley Swan Paws for anyone in need of dog walking services. Louise is reliable, friendly and has a great passion for animals. Peanut loves going on walks with her and always comes back tired and happy. Louise goes the extra mile to make sure our pup is well taken care of, and provides updates and photos. It is a pleasure to work with her and we couldn't be happier with the care she has given Peanut. If you are looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, Hanley Swan Paws is the way to go!

Louise has been walking and visiting Juno since we first got her as a puppy almost 3 years ago. Since the beginning she has been so friendly and built a true bond with Juno so much so that when we say 'Louise' Juno's tail starts wagging and she goes to the door. She has socialised Juno with other dogs as we rarely get that opportunity which has really helped to make Juno the sociable and friendly dog she is now. I couldn't recommend Louise enough she truly is AMAZING! She always goes the extra mile and it's clear she loves the animals she works with. Plus the pictures on Instagram every time she walks Juno are the highlight of my family's day :)

Louise walks our Jack Russell, Maisie, three times a week. Louise quickly established a warm and trusting relationship with Maisie, who is always pleased to see her. Maisie responds well to Louise and enjoys her walks in a variety of different locations. Louise is a trustworthy, caring, experienced and professional dogwalker and we recommend her unreservedly. Dave and Sue Alderson

Louise has volunteered at my dog training classes for a year now. She is incredibly reliable, professional and caring. She is sensitive to the needs of dogs and owners alike and takes real pleasure in seeing both grow in confidence. I would recommend Louise without reservation.

Louise is brilliant with my dog Babe and I couldn’t ask for anyone better to look after her. She’s reliable and friendly and my Babe loves her to bits! ❤️

Doug is great and our cockapoo always seems happy. Well looked after and fairly priced. Thank you for looking after Benji

My 2 11 month old labs spent 2 weeks at cottage kennels. Doug & his team did a fantastic job keeping them happy & safe. Doug is a very knowledgeable person and has given me some great advise on how to handle my monsters. Thanks Doug.

We were recommended to use Cottage Kennels by a local kennels that was unfortunately ceasing trading. We contacted Doug who recently accommodated our two dogs for the first time for a ten day stay. From the outset, Doug was very engaging and obviously has the dogs interest at heart. He listened to our summary of their individual personalities and needs, and we left very reassured that our dogs were in good hands. When we collected the dogs from their first stay, Doug gave us helpful and informative feedback on their time with him. We left very impressed, and will certainly be using Cottage Kennels for all our boarding requirements in the future. Thank you Doug.

Recommended by our neighbour, Murphy, our Lab cross, has been staying under the care of Douglas at Cottage Kennels, when we holiday since 2017. Murphy happily wags his tail on arrival and we have had no worries or concerns, as we see the dogs are kept in clean and secure surroundings. Douglas has many years of experience and has given us good advice with Murphy as he is our first family dog.

This is the first time using cottage kennels and I was a tad apprehensive as we'd had a bad experience with a previous kennels but I need not have worried. I collected my 2 and they were so happy . I thoroughly recommend cottage kennels. The owner after a few days sussed my springer out . I will definitely be using them again. Thank you for taking care of them

First time our boy Duke has ever been in a kennels and I was nervous at first but we were made to feel very welcome and instantly felt at ease. Kennels were lovely and clean and prices were very good. Would highly recommend and will be the only kennels we use from now on 😀 …

First time stay for our 2 GSD’s and they left happy and clean (we have used other boarding facilities in the past and the dogs have left rather smelly)! Doug is a really knowledgable, friendly guy and I have absolutely found our new regular boarding kennels :-)

Great kennels. We dropped Maggie our Vizsla off for two weeks and she was very well looked after. She smelled fab when we picked her up, thought it was my husband’s aftershave, but after much sniffing realised it was the dog 🤣 Highly recommended …

Our lab Max had a fantastic stay at the kennels for 2 weeks. So much so we have booked him in for next year! Thank you for taking such great care of him. Rose and Martyn

I have two springers, aged 7 and 8 who had never been in kennels before. To say I was apprehensive was an understatement! There was no need. Doug was so good with the dogs, explaining all that would happen. he makes a point of getting to know each of the dogs in his care which was evident when we visited to look around. He texted me when I was on holiday with reassurance that they had settled well. when I collected them they were clearly comfortable in their surroundings. I will be going back. I cannot recommend him enough. I had viewed another kennels before there and the difference was obvious. Thank you for being a genuine animal lover !

Every dog owner needs Di & Mark in their lives !! Both are super knowledgeable and ensure that your dog is well looked after in their care, treating all of them like one of their own. My dog Juno goes there three times a week for day care whilst I am at work and boards a couple of times a year too - I am able to drop her off at 7:30am, which is a huge advantage. Juno gets excited when I drive up the road and when I pick her up at the end of the day, she is so tired I have to almost drag her to the car ! All of the dogs in their care get to mix with their own age groups/energy levels in large separate areas throughout the house and garden and even get to go out on long daily walks over the local fields. Nothing is ever too much for Di & Mark and I personally wouldn't trust anyone else to look after our dog now. Thank you for such a fantastic service (Bonnie, Simon & Juno)

Our dog Bella has been going to Padi day care since she was a puppy- almost 5 years ago! Bella loves her time playing and chilling with the other dogs. Di and Mark are always there for practical advice when needed and their home is a doggy haven. Their job is not an easy one, but they all work very hard to make sure the dogs needs come first and we trust them with a very precious member of our family completely.

My dog goes to Paddy day care 3 times a week and loves spending time with the other dogs. I've noticed an improvement in him since going too, he is happier and more chilled. He is nervous of people he doesn't know but settled in really quickly and adores Di and Mark. It's lovely how Di posts photos of the dogs during the day on Facebook, makes yummy home made dog treats and gets the paddling pool out for the dogs. I'd definitely recommend this reliable, friendly and professional service.

I have been using Padi day care for my Dog for just over 2 years. Di and Mark cannot do enough for your Pets. My dog loves going there. Di and Mark will also do their best to accommodate last minute changes of plan. Short notice overnight stays etc. I now have two dogs and they both go to padi. I have no hesitation in recommending padi. Keep up the good work.

We have used Padi dog day care frequently over the last 6 months to look after our rescued Galgo for us during the day or overning when we are working or cannot take her away with us. We have always been very happy with their knowledgeable, friendly and flexible service, and our dog always returns to us in a happy and unstressed state. We would have no hesitation in recommending Padi doggy day care to anyone and look forward to using their service in the future.

I have been taking my dog to Padi Doggy Day care for almost a year now and she absolutely loves it. She meets lots of other dogs is really well cared for. Diane and Mark are always happy to see her and they have lots of advice to give if needed. Will recommend every time!!

I can not recommend Di and Mark highly enough. My Beagle Rudy has been going to daycare here, 3 days a week, for a little over a year and he loves it. We also use their boarding service whenever we go away, Wonderful people who look after your dog as if it were their own. If you are looking for day care or boarding, please give Di a call.

I have been taking my dog Bella to Padi Home Boarding for Day care for nearly 4 years now and Boarding when we go away and she absolutely loves it! It gives me comfort knowing she’s being looked after in the best possible hands. Di And Mark are lovely, polite and professional and real Dog Lovers, they treat Bella as one of there own. I couldn't recommend Padi Home Boarding enough!

Took my little Yorkie to Diane & Mark for holiday boarding for the very first time and I'm really impressed with how well she was looked after. Saw pics on social media while we were away and Di was happy for us to call to see how she was doing. My yorkie has had a fantastic time staying there and I've already booked for our next holiday. I have no hesitation in recommending them - absolutely brilliant!

Diane and Mark have been looking after my Labrador Max for over 3 years and Max loves it! We trust them so much with our Max and would recommend them to anyone! Max goes twice a week and always comes home tired and sleepy after playing all day with his Doggy friends at day care. Great value for money and priceless fun for all the doggies! Thank you, Jon and Chanelle x

They looked after our 'new to kennels' very scared little dog with sensitivity, flexibility and kindness. We are grateful for his first experience to be a very positive one, and we can highly recommend the kennels and staff. It is in a beautiful setting and put our minds at rest over the long weekend we needed our dog to be looked after. Thank you Strawbyn.

WORST EXPERIENCE- I called and asked how much it would be for our dog too stay Saturday morning til Tuesday- they quoted me £90 over the phone and said I had too book in for a taster day-which I did! I explained she was a female rotti but no bigger than labador size( very petite), but when I dropped her off for her taster day the owner changed her mind and said I need to pay £35 a day( classed her as a giant dog) So we dropped Millie off Saturday 30th March ( Easter weekend) the girl at the desk said I need to pay extra £35 due to bank holiday- this was never mentioned on the phone or on the taster day, apparently they didn’t realise it was Easter weekend when I booked ( not my problem) . They never respond to emails… awful customer service-wrong prices quoted! Overall terrible experience- looking at previous reviews someone else was over charged a year ago so this isn’t the first time they have done this….. BE CAREFUL!!’ ALSO PAID CASH AND NEVER HAD A RECEIPT …….

Lovely kennels but not such a marvellous experience as last year when a gentleman cared for our difficult dog wonderfully. This years staff not as knowledgeable, so she missed out on a lot. Will use again though very definitely.

We booked Bella in for a taster day prior to us leaving her at the kennels at the end if the month. I had a tour of the facilities and was reassured by talking to the owners that Bella would be well looked after and walked at least four times a day. When we collected her she was relaxed and happy.

Recently put 2 x cats and 2 x dogs into Strawbyn cattery/kennels for 2 weeks. Dogs seem very 'chilled out' when I collect them after 2 weeks.... Dogs have lead walks and there are a couple of secure fields at the kennels where dogs can run free during their exercise times. Kennel sizes vary depending whether you bring 1, 2 or a family of dogs .....

Jane and John are excellent and experienced doggie hosts. We are holidaying in the area and they took our dog on trust for a couple of doggie day care days without a taster day, which we really appreciated. . They have been brilliant with Benson and he certainly enjoyed his experience at Strawbyn. Highly recommended

rude and unhelpful woman answered the phone and wanted to charge me for two days for a 24 hour stay.needless to say i went elsewhere

We recently used the services of Strawbyn to kennel our two dogs Archie and Tilly for two weeks in the summer. What a fantastic place so clean and professionally run by John and his team. Both Archie and Tilly were well looked after by the team and are looking forward to there Holiday next year. I highly recommend Strawbyn to look after your little treasures.

I use Strawbyn Boarding Kennels a lot over the annual period, These guys are amazing with what they have achieved and they are such a professional outfit. I have a beagle called Vinnie and every time i drop him off here he is excited beyond belief, I actually think he suffers from withdrawal symptoms as his holiday was such a great experience. Thanks guys and keep up the great work :-))

Highly recommend Strawbyn Dog Kennels, I am a Professional Dog Walker and several of my clients are recommended by me to use this super clean facility. Dogs are exercised 4 times daily and leave well adjusted and content. Thank you Strawbyn.

Highly recommend Nettie for dog sitting. Nettie recently looked after our 2 year old Labrador, for the 2nd time, the first time she was 8 months old. Nettie knows how to make a dog feel welcome and at home. She's incredibly attentive and sensitive to her needs, loves the pets in her care unconditionally and is very communicative in sending updates, videos and messages to us while we were on holiday. Not that we needed to worry, we knew Luna was in very safe hands. I would recommend Nettie to anyone wanting their pet to be looked after - she is Ace! Lucinda and Ed, September 2024

Highly recommend Nettie to look after your pet. We were anxious to leave our Romanian Rescue due to him still being fairly nervous with new people. He couldn't have been happier - Nettie quickly built up a bond with him and he was clearly at ease before we had even left. She kept us up to date with photos and videos of the lovely adventures they went on. Already booked in for October :)

Nettie cared for our dog in our home. She was on time and provided updates during the day. It was clear that our young dog was very comfortable with her and that she had a good day. She had walks, meals and play which was exactly what was needed.

I wouldn't hesitate to have Nettie looking after my dog again and I would highly recommend her services. Reliable, professional and stepped in (very) last minute to help me out when I was really stuck. She gave me regular updates which was really reassuring and my dog is very happy and settled after spending all weekend with her. Thank you SO much! Fantastic dog sitter xx

Have used Nettie twice now whilst working away . I have found her to be extremely Trustworthy, competent and caring , her professional attitude along with her Reliable and professional service means I’m happy to work away knowing my 2 English bull terriers are well cared for & my house is looked after as she Will stay with your pet all day and night at your home. Excellent service, awesome lady ., recommend 100%

I've got a blind romainian rescue dog with special needs who I have been very anxious about finding the right sitter for, I hate leaving him for a night or two... But then along came Nettie... She truly understands dog behaviour, very experienced with dogs and she is one of very very few people who knows how to walk him safely. She is such a lovely person to deal with. She is extremely kind and a true doggy person. Also, even though I tell her to not worry about cleaning up or anything, she still does bless her. She will treat your home with utmost respect and love your dogs.

Nettie is amazing with our dogs, a natural. She is relaxed but still very switched on with what they needed, from walks to cuddles and snacks!

Netti has a lovely way with animals. She’s very kind and caring. Her animals and any animal in her care always comes first

Thank you x

We recently started with Kirsty. She comes round a few days a week whilst we are at work in the middle of the day to feed and play with our little puppy Peggy. We were both so nervous to go back to work full time but Kirsty always sends updates and pictures and we come home to a happy chilled pup. Thank you so much Kirsty!! Jennie, Hana and Peggy 🐕

This is the first time we have contacted Kirsty, she has been fantastic with our loves, attentive, professional and very loving with them. We are very happy to have met her and we are sure that Yuki and Sky can't wait to see her again.

Kirsty looked after our beagle, Fudge at our house for 8 days this year whilst we were on holiday. He was so much more comfortable at home than in kennels. It was such a hot week in the uk but Kirsty made sure Fudge was cool and cared for, even using her own cooling collar to try and keep his body temperature down as he’s prone to seizures, and sleeping downstairs with him as it was cooler. We got regular updates and photos during the week too. She was absolutely fantastic with him and we will definitely get in touch when we next go away.

Fantastic! Couldnt want for more from a pet sitter. Kirsty looked after our cats at very short notice as we were going away and had just moved. They were very well looked after and played with. Also daily updates were perfect as we were nervous about leaving our fur babies alone in our new place for the first time. Will definitely be using kirstys services again and would highly recommend! Edit: kirsty has continued to look after our cats for the last year since we moved and she does a great job keeping them happy and healthy while we are away. After a year we are still really happy and would still highly recommend her services. Thank you kirsty!!

I can’t thank Kirsty enough for the service she offers. I used to be able to take my dogs to work but with a change of job I had to find alternative plans. It was something that was holding me back from taking a job opportunity. When I first made contact with Kirsty she was friendly and approachable from the first message! I was worried about my dogs as they can be ‘too hyper’ for some people but when Kirsty came for a meet and greet she understood them right away which really put my mind at ease. I get updates from Kirsty while she’s with my dogs and I can see how happy they are! She even gets my stubborn, old chihuahua to play with toys! I am absolutely over the moon with the service I receive and I know my dogs enjoy their visits from Kirsty! Thank you again!

Kirsty recently looked after our dog while we were away on holiday. Kirsty was wonderful with him. She sent us lots of pictures and videos of them out on their walks and playtime. The communication was appreciated. It was such a lovely feeling knowing Milo was being so well cared for while we were away. We will definitely ask Kirsty to pet sit next time we are away and highly recommend her to our friends and family. Thank you Kirsty 🐶🐾🦴

Heard of Kirstys pet services through a neighbour and very pleased we went ahead and contacted her. She is great with our two cats, and we can be very assured that when we go away they will be looked after. We have regular photo updates and she really goes the extra mile to put our minds at ease. One of our cats is on medication and this was also no problem for her. Will always use Kirsty from now on!

Kirsty recently looked after our dog for a couple of days & was brilliant. She took him on days out so he wasn’t left at home (always checking if it was ok before hand). We were regularly updated with pictures & videos. Highly recommended & we will definitely use Kirsty again! Thank you so much for looking after Oscar.

Needed a cat sitter at very short notice, just to come round and feed our two every day. Was worried as obviously we didn't know Kirsty and let's be honest, your not only trusting them with your "family" but also your property. We quickly arranged a initial meeting and straight away you know she is a genuinely nice person who clearly loves animals. While we were away she kept us informed of our cats every day, really good communication, and went over and above. She put our minds at rest so we could enjoy our break. Absolutely no problem recommending Kirsty, many thanks!

I’ve been using Kirsty for my two house cats for about eight months and she is brilliant. As a pet lover and cat owner she understands how precious my two are to me and takes excellent care of them. She is also very professional, reliable and trustworthy - I have no worries at all about leaving my keys with her. Kirsty uses a brilliant app to record her visits, including photos and notes so you know exactly what she’s done. Amazing service so I highly recommend her to any pet owner.

Our golden retriever Barnaby loved his stay at Finchmore! Molly was great to deal with, friendly, responsive and transparent. We left our boy for 10 days during which we were kept up to date with photos, videos and updates of what he'd been up to. When we arrived to collect him, he was having so much fun that he didn't even notice us! Will definitely be using Finchmore again and cannot recommend highly enough.

I can’t recommend Finchmore Boarding more highly, every time I use Molly’s services I’m so impressed by the level of detail she puts into looking after our dog (and how nice she is with us). Recently we went on our honeymoon for three weeks and left our dog with Molly. I was quite nervous about leaving our dog for so long but I needn’t have been. The only thing you need to worry about is that your dog might rather stay with Molly than come home! Our dog was so happy, calm and content when we collected her, we knew she’d been well looked after and had the best time. Also Molly sent our dog (and her basket) home looking the cleanest she’s ever been! Which was the icing on the cake.

My beautiful doggy Hedges stayed for a pooch-cation with Molly for a couple weeks and I’ve never been happier. Molly constantly updated me with adorable pictures and I can genuinely feel her love for the dogs. 100% would recommend to anybody looking for a premium dog boarding association.

I left my elderly Border Terrier with Molly during a visit abroad and I came back to a dog with a shiny coat of fur and looking happier than ever. Molly let me know what is was that she'd been feeding her to give her such a refreshed look and was more than happy to show me my dog Hannah during my trip so i could check up on her when i felt homesick. If you want a dog boarding place that treats your dog with the love and care as if they were their own pets, I cannot recommend Finchmore enough.

I contacted this outfit a month ago and they completely ignored my request. So far as to say, why would anyone trust them to communicate with you when you are away. Placing your beloved dogs with strangers is hard enough, but with those who can't operate basic communication is a huge red flag. They don't even take calls! A very amateur feeling rings out here so I'll pass.

My gosh where do I start?! Molly has recently moved to a larger property over winter and transformed the land (3 acres?!!) into a doggie paradise!! My terrier Mousetrap absolutely adores Molly and she sends regular photos and videos of his stay. He'll be in the woods one day, in the pond the other and at the end of it all sleeping on the sofa infront of the fireplace! Talk about a dogs life!! If I didn't know any better I would say he prefers it at Finchmore! And I can't blame him, I've been tempted to ask if I can stay too. They have a well secured 6ft high fence around their home and another secure field at the bottom of the property, never needed to worry about Mousetraps safety as he has been known to be an escape artist in the past. Mollys three dogs are the loveliest trio and Mousetrap loves to play with Spoon. 10/10 would recommend to any dog owner!!

Incredible! My young pup Benson stayed with Molly for three nights whilst I traveled to Scotland to attend a wedding, and I've never felt more comforted. Molly sent consistent updates and photos of Benson which was so lovely to see! Benson seemed so happy when I collected him and so did the rest of the dogs. Definitely recommend❤️☺️

My dog absolutely loved his stay with Molly and the rest of the pack! I had total peace of mind throughout my holiday as Molly kept me regularly updated. It really is a home from home. I would definitely recommend 100%, thank you again!

What a great find, my elderly dog stayed with Molly for a week and he was so at home. I was worried about him being diabetic but she was fabulous and sent me regular updates and even videos. Thank you Molly and will definitely use you again.

Molly has been looking after Sprout regularly over the last few months. Sprout adores Molly and her other dogs. I received regular pupdates and Sprout doesn't really want to come home with me!!! 100% recommended 👌 …

Could not rate Orchard Dogs higher- Olivia is a wonderful carer to our very needy dog. We are now able to travel in the knowledge that the dog is happy and being looked after in a family home.

Highly recommend Orchard Dogs as a home-from-home boarders. Our dog stayed there whilst we moved home and she settled instantly. Liv was incredible, we felt like nothing was too much hassle and loved how she sent us photo updates. We will definitely be using again!

Orchard Dogs Colwall, run by Liv has been a lifesaver for me. I have a 3 yr old springer spaniel who loves going there when I have had to go away for a few nights. It is such a comfort to know that I can leave her there in the safe, lovely home of Liv and her family and that she will go on beautiful walks and be looked after and cared for in a loving, family environment, that has all the requisite licenses and qualifications to run dog boarding. Highly recommend!

My miniature dachshund loves going to daycare at Orchard Dogs! I feel relaxed knowing he is well taken care of and he always comes home happy and tired. Whenever I drop him off he is always so waggy and pulling to get in so I know he must love it! Highly recommend.

Wow our dog just can't get enough....home from home....boarding you can trust 🐾 …
