Dog Sitters in Kilmacolm

Our dog George (see photo taken by Elaine) has been visiting the Happy Hound Hotel for 8 years and we think the set up there is brilliant. The best bit is that the dogs are free to come and go between the house and the yard as they please, and they get a big field to run around and play together for exercise. This is so much better than being stuck in a concrete cage and getting a perfunctory walk around a yard, which is the set up at the other places we looked at. Elaine is really nice and looks after the dogs well. One time I turned up with George unexpectely as there had been a mix up on dates. I turned up at Elaine's front door and her husband answered it (holding a new baby). As he wasn't expecting me he had every reason to be a bit put out, but the way he greeted George it was like one of his family. In summary, a great place for your dogs; I can't recommend it enough. Only thing to watch, is book early as places get booked up quite quickly.

We're really happy that we found the Happy Hound Hotel as our two dogs love it. The rooms are great and the outdoor space is brilliant with different enclosed runs and a big paddock for the dogs to play in. Elaine is great with our two girls, one of which is a rescue, and she is happy to cater for raw food as well. She sent us lots of pictures when we were last away and it was great to see the girls so happy. So much better than traditional kennels.

We've been using Happy Hound Hotel for our dog for a few years now and we highly recommend this place. We love receiving photos and updates about our dog and it's reassuring to know he's having a wonderful time and he's settled. We love the outdoor area and the clean rooms provided for dogs. We think of the Happy Hound Hotel a holiday home for our dog where he has a chance to play with other dogs and run around. We are confident he's well looked after as as he will be at home. Please book well in advance as the demand is high for such a good service.

The Happy Hound Hotel have been looking after our much loved dogs for a good number of years now. Our first dog had boarded in a few different places both in Ireland and Scotland but never seemed to enjoy the experience - the Happy Hound Hotel was just a world apart. He was so relaxed and happy and as an owner you know when they're really content and they happily skip back when they get to visit again. I was worried about leaving our second dog but things couldn't have been better. The premises are beautifully decorated and kitted out with lovely beds, sofas, decor - the only difference to other hotels are the very happy dogs enjoying the amenities instead of humans! More important than that, Elaine, Andy and family are so good to the dogs. Quinn has been treated like one of the family and even the children remember the dogs by name and the dogs are as pleased to see them. The dogs get fantastic walks in the stunning surrounding landscape and the genuine loving care that you would give your own dog. Make sure you book early as they're rightly very popular and fill up much more quickly than most places. I think everyone who's used them turns into a returning customer for life!

We spent a lot of time taking advice and visiting Many local boarding options for our two very special Samoyed twins. For us it was almost love at first Sight Happy Hounds Hotel is quite frankly like no other. Elaine the owner is very friendly and attentive And frequently sends us photos of our two On what’s app while we are on holiday. It’s so much Easier to enjoy your time away knowing your paw Family are settled. The set up at happy hounds is perfect plenty of secure gates lots of exercise areas and numbers strictly limited to 8 boarders. All of whom must pass Elaine’s friendly test before being Admitted to this 5 star hotel. Our only issue is the fact our two don’t want to leave when we pick them up on our return 😃. Well done Elaine and family don’t know what we would do without you guys keep up the great work. 😃

Calvin our cockapoo has been going to the Happy Hound Hotel for his summer holidays and other short breaks since we got him three years ago. He’s always well looked after and happy there. We didn’t want to put him in kennels and this is a great alternative. The dogs have much more freedom and a comfy room to stay in. Elaine the owner is lovely. She sends us photos while we are on holiday. Calvin always looks happy running about the fields. Calvin always looks well cared for when we pick him up at the end of our break. Highly recommended!

We left our 4 year old cavachon with Elaine and Andy for 2 weeks .It’s the first time we’ve ever left her and Elaine sent us pictures of her throughout her stay . We could see how happy and well cared for she was . I wouldn’t ever hesitate to leave her with Elaine and Andy , she had a ball and we had peace of mind .

We have been a regular user of the Happy Hound for 7 years now and my dog loves it. Elaine & Andy are great & I have no worries about leaving my boy with them. They have the dog’s best interest at heart and make their stay with them comfortable & fun. On my summer holls away I get photos & regular up dates on how he is doing & I think I am missing him more than he misses me. I would definitely recommend the Happy Hound hotel. We would be lost without them. X

My dog loves his stays here, flys out the car and doesn't look back. Great secure areas for dogs to run about.

The best dog place ever. I have not booked holiday if I can’t get my girls into the Happy Hiund Hotel. They love it. It’s like a home from home and I feel really safe leaving them there. Elaine is really lovely and cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommend her and also the dog grooming business she does too.

Pawz&Co is a brilliant daycare and very accommodating to my nervous French Bulldog Hugo who can be reactive. Steph, Linzi and team are wonderful, professional and true animal lovers. The facilities are fantastic with loads of space for parking and in the reception area for drop off and pick up. I wouldn’t put my pup anywhere else!

Livet, our daughter’s English Pointer goes to day care twice a week . She absolutely loves it ! The new facility is brilliant with lots of space outdoors with obstacles and vantage spots to watch out for snacks! There are cosy spaces indoors for those wet days . The videos are a testimony to how much fun all the pooches have . The drop off option has been invaluable for us. Everyone is so friendly. Would thoroughly recommend it. 🐕‍🦺

Our two pups love it at Pawz & Co. They have been going since they were pups and it has been brilliant for them in so many ways. They are so sociable and great with other dogs and people. Also, they are exhausted at the end of the day which is great! All the staff really love all the dogs and are so attentive. I know that when I drop them off at day care they are safe, happy and well looked after!

Soapy has been going here for a few years now. After trying many other daycare centres we finally found this one. They are absolutely amazing with the dogs and go above and beyond to help. All the staff are absolutely incredible. The new facilities are 5 star. As soon as we turn onto the road soapy goes absolutely mental in the back of the car. He can't get in quick enough. Highly recommend paws & Co if your looking for daycare. Thankyou everyone for looking after our boy 💯❤️

Absolutely love Pawz&Co, my boy (a 4 year old rescue) has been going on and off for the last few years and gets super excited whenever I drop him off and always comes out super happy and tired. The team are great with him and very friendly too, it's always very easy to arrange booking him in. They have plenty of staff and the new facilities are beautiful and spacious. There is also a groom room (Michelle does this and is brilliant with him as he's not keen on water). Would highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for either a half or full day daycare for your dog(s), costs are good as well.

My dog goes absolutely mad with excitement in the mornings when I tell him we're going to meet his pals. He can't get in the car quick enough! I can't praise the staff enough for all the work they do. The love they show to my dog, and all of the others in their care, is second to none 🤩. I cannot recommend Pawz & Co. enough!

Could not recommend Pawz&Co highly enough. It's an amazing set up for the dogs, they've got different areas for different sized dogs. Indoor and outdoor areas. They're always trying their absolute best every day e.g. paddling pools and water play. Most of all they absolutely love the dogs.

My dog love this place! Can recommend for everyone looking for trusted place for daycare. Staff is lovely. My dog is happy and completely tired after hours of play! 5 stars!

The best! Amazing, friendly staff who really care. Plenty of interaction throughout the day and there is a groomer on site for a pamper session.

Pawz&co is an incredible doggy daycare service. All the staff are super helpful and Steph and Linz do a fab job with all the pups. My dog is reactive to dog walkers in the past but has no issues at Pawz&co and comes home wiped out after a day of fun. they have amazing themed parties for the pups at holidays too! And the updates on the stories on social media are lovely to see your pup having fun while you are at work 🐾 🐶

We have used Gio for over 6 years now and not only is he reliable, professional and experienced in what he does but he is also so passionate about the dogs. He has such a lovely relationship with them all and our big guy absolutely loves him. They have a special bond as he walked him from a puppy. Gio has a lot of experience when it comes to training and the recall on our dog was so much better after a couple of walks. Highly recommended.

5 stars is honestly not enough. Gio is super. Really professional, reliable and literally treats your dog like his own. He is so genuinely invested in the love, care and welfare of all his dogs. He walked our Vizsla from 4 months to just over a year (we moved out of area after this) and he really helped with his training over those tricky puppy and teenage months! You're not just getting a dog walker here - Gio always gave feedback and training suggestions too so we could holistically cater to our boy's needs depending on his development. He was also wrecked after his pack walks, which is saying a lot for a wildly energetic Vizsla!

Gio has been walking our dog since she was a puppy (over 6 years now), he really takes time to get to know the dogs and their personalities. She loves her pack walks with her gang and is always excited to see Gio. Would highly recommend!

Gio has walked my dog since she was a puppy. She just loves her walks and has so much fun with her doggie pals. My pup is quite nervous generally, however when she sees Gio and her pals she gains her confidence and has the best time. Gio has such an amazing way with the dogs he walks, people often think she’s his dog on walks such is the bond they have my Molly is beside herself when she sees him or hears the van ! I trust him 100% with my fur baby 🐶!

Gio, Has walked our dog Rosie for over 5 years and she loves going out with him on a twice weekly basis. The walks have also helped with her obedience and being friendly with other dogs. Rosie has also boarded with Gio in the past and is one of the family. I would thoroughly recommend Gio and his service

Gio has walked our three springers for the past couple of years. He’s great with the dogs; he’s very knowledgable and helped to train our dogs since they were puppies. Our dogs love their walks with Gio and we’d recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker.

Gio has been walking our Cocker for years. He is very reliable, flexible, a great trainer and extremely knowledgable. Gio always goes above and beyond for his Dogs, he loves them and loves what he does. It’s more than a job, it’s a lifestyle. I wouldn’t have anyone else walking Sam and I’m certain Sam would agree! Highly recommend.

Fantastic dog walking service and definitely second to none. My Saroo loves his time out with Gio and is so excited every time he hears the van stop outside. His recall has vastly improved and I couldn't be happier and trust anyone as much as I do Gio with my boy.

Brilliant dog walker, goes out of his way 2 accommodate clients, all the dogs love him. Monty, my Border Collie, just loves his walks with K9 Services. He even does everything that Gio asks of him... something he dossnt always do for me!!

Our dog paddy loves going out with Gio, he treats all the dogs as his own. Gio’s great at keeping us updated with how paddy’s getting in with his pack walks. Highly recommend.

1st time at this kennel. We will definitely be using them again. Knowledgeable & friendly. Bernie was tired from playing and socializing.

A caring and reliable service, my dogs did not want to leave.

Lucky loved his stay at Dougliehill. Good value for money, cared for as one of the family, great fun socialising with the other dogs and lots of exercise in the yard. Lucky will be back 😀 …

Cracking kennels, friendly staff, dogs are well looked after.

My pups favourite place. I can rest knowing he is safe and happy while I'm away or working all day. The people who run it are amazing and caring.

Thanks Liam you've restored our faith in Dog Boarders. Levi had a great time and we won't hesitate to book him a longer stay Thanks fir helping us.

Had to find Poppy kennels at short notice and Dougliehill where fantastic and took her in for a week. Can't thank Liam and family enough and will certainly use you again. Thank you.

Obi loves it at dougliehill

Very friendly, great location, & very reasonable rates, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using these kennels. 🙂 🐶 …

Friendly owners our koda loves going here

The staff at Dogkaytion are fantastic. They work incredibly hard, making sure that all dog's needs are met. They keep you up to date on how they are doing and they have a fab facility. Hamish loves going to Dogkaytion and we know he's being very well looked after! We would recommend them to anyone looking for doggy daycare.

My husband and I know the owners very well, we have watched them build this facility from the very start. I cannot put into words just how perfect they have made it. Our wee Romanian rescue absolutely loves going there which is a huge step for us because he is too anxious to be left alone. They really pay attention to the needs of each individual dog, there is so much space for them to play and amazing chill out spaces. I can guarantee any dog that goes will have an amazing time and most importantly they will be safe and very well looked after.

I was anxious about leaving my dog with anyone I didn't know. My wee dog Gypsy visited Dogkaytion for the day and absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They soon put my anxieties at ease. Kevin and kayrn are beautiful people and I am so excited for gypsy to have fun in their care .

What a fabulous place Kayrn & Kevin have at Dogkaytion. So many different activities for the dogs & Kayrn & Kevin are absolutely brilliant at what they do. We were more than happy for our Teddy to spend time there & he had an absolute blast! He's looking forward to going back! Don't hesitate to book your pup in, you will not be disappointed & will be safe in the knowledge that your pup will be well looked after. Kayrn & Kevin - you have an absolutely amazing future ahead of you xx

Excellent experience and service from Dogkaytion today. Booked Charlie in for 8.15 Kayrn & Kevin ready to go no waiting easy drop off & pick up! Charlie had a great day & exhausted all good..highly recommend leaving your pooch here. Charlie already booked back in👍🐾 Roz …

Amazing place for dogs to spend the day the team at Dogkaytion are amazing with the dogs and have created a fantastic facility for dogs to play and socialise

Excellent service provided for my dog Bailey,staff are very attentive and caring

Lady Roxy loves Doggy Carers. waiting impatiently every morning for one of the team to pick her up.. so excited to see them every day. The fun she has with the other dogs makes her so happy and always tired out at the end of the day. We have used Doggy Carers for boarding on several occasions and its just like home from home for Roxy. A clean, safe, fun environment for dogs to have some great times and be looked after just as they would be at home.

I use Doggy Carers every day to walk and look after my dog while I work. He waits patiently at the window and is so excited to be picked up. He absolutely loves his time with the other dogs. The team are friendly, professional and great with the dogs. Highly recommend this service.

Boarded our 2 dogs for the first time when we recently went on a cruise.Very professional set up, dogs were introduced gradually to detect any signs of aggression. Videos were posted on Facebook daily so we could see them on their walks which they thoroughly enjoyed. Dogs appeared to have a great couple of weeks socialising with their doggy friends.

Extremely arrogant and unprofessional man. Property stinking of cannabis. Horrible experience.

Very friendly efficient staff great dog walking service.

Thanks Kirsty, Hunter is such a lovely wee dog, we love having him with us on our group walks

I don't know this person so I can't imagine why they would rate my business at two and not leave a comment to justify the rating, it is possible they are mistaking Doggy Carers with another another business. For real feedback go to our Facebook page and see all the fun our dogs have when they are with us alongside all the 5 star reviews we have.

Wonderful Una so friendly and very clearly a dog lover. My two dogs stayed at the kennels for 4 nights and where Happy and full of life when we picked them up. Thank you for looking after my hairy babies so well. Would happily recommend and will use again and again.

Our dog, Freckles, just loves going there. Una is terrific with him. He is well cared for and looked after, loves mixing with the other dogs. I would recommend Margaret's Mill Kennels.

Dog had a nice 3 night stay there. She was a bit freaked at first with all the barking but soon settled down. Good clean promises. Very welcoming owner. Looks like dog will return!

My border collie stayed here for 2 weeks while we were on holiday he had a great time una is so loving and caring would not hesitate to send him again .

If your going away for a long or short period you can rest assure your will be looked after and in the best of hands my dogs always come home in the same condition I drop them off top class kennels

Dogs have been going here for a couple of years always come back happy and Una couldn't be nicer

Great kennels, my dogs first time, when I picked him up he was fine

looked after my pooches for a few days well run kennels.

Lovely. Friendly people.

Great dog breeder

We are often away overnight with work and Jamie can be relied upon to feed and care for our 2 cats twice a day, sometimes at really short notice. Completely trustworthy, he really cares about all animals and if we’re ever away for longer we get regular updates, including his amazing photos! We couldn’t operate without him!

We have used Jamie for the past 1.5 years to walk our puppy. Due to COVID our dog was very shy and unsure when she was younger and we were unable to book her into any puppy classes. Jamie helped us socialise her with other dogs and he has been walking her every week since. On a Thursday when he comes to pick her up she looks out the window waiting for him before bounding off with excitement - I dont know what more you want from a Dog walking service. The blog posts he puts up online always make us laugh and its great to see all the pack having fun. I could not recommend Bishopton Dog Walking service more!

After looking at Bishopton Dog Walking Service's website I found it to be so user friendly and the photo's of the dogs on the website so sharp and good compositions I contacted the owner Jamie Shanks and asked him to help me with my dog walking website. Jamie was only too pleased to help, he changed my website's overall appearance and added professional looking photographs of the dogs I walk. I spent a day with Jamie walking dogs whilst he took pictures for my website. Not only is Jamie a very talented photographer but is also a very caring dog walker. He knew his dogs characters and needs so well. More importantly Jamie is one of the nicest persons I have ever met an absolute gentleman. Thank You Jamie for all your help Mark Grabham, Renfrewshire Pet Services

We have in the past used the service of Jamie and found him to be very helpful and accommodating. He recently took our two dogs overnight when we had to be away at short notice for a family funeral. We know that Jamie will do what he can to assist. Thanks.

This is the company which look after my much prized cats when I'm away on holiday and business trips. Jamie is very flexible and responds to my last minute arrangements. I often get held up a long distance from home. A phone call to Jamie gets him quickly on the job to rush around to my house to feed my cats. I can't praise Jamie high enough. Trustworthy, flexible, helpful, nice guy....

I've used Jamie and Bishopton Dog Walking Services every day for over 3 years and I couldn't recommend him more highly. He is a natural with dogs and my dogs both adore him. His walks are often well over the hour and my dogs always come back happy and exhausted which is just as it should be.

Jamie offers a fantastic friendly service, he is trustworthy and reliable, wouldn't be with out him now! Nothing is ever a problem for him and my two dogs love him - Happy dogs means one happy owner.

Jamie is always super flexible in being able to take Dexter for walks at short notice! Nothing is a problem. Dexter loves him so much he chases the BDWS van when he sees it in the village! Highly recommended to anyone for the pooch in your life.

Jamie was fantastic and always very accommodating with our dog before our dog sadly passed away

Thanks very much Lauren, that's very kind!
