Dog Sitters in Knole

Jan is amazing. I travel from South Devon to leave my dogs with Jan she is so good. I have known her almost 20 years and she has looked after all the dogs I have had in that time - including elderly rescues. I wouldn't go any where else- she is amazing with all dogs and trustworthy - so worth the extra drive to know I will collect a happy, well cared for dog who loves it so much there they don't always want to come home.

We have used Jan at Langport for more than 10 years as we hated putting our Basset Hounds in kennels. She has a several acre field right next to the house where they are exercised frequently. In addition she takes them out for a proper walk each day.All the dogs of every breed sleep in her house and they all seem to love it. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs, horses and other pets. I think she has also just been awarded 5 stars by Defra. When one of our Bassets was ill she actually slept downstairs with her: an amazingly dedicated and kind lady.

Jan is excellent with our dogs. They are always happy there and sadly I feel at times they dont want to come home!

My dog goes here and he always comes home tired. And Jan is a nutter, she will walk the dogs come rain or shine

Fantastic place my Drago loves it already

Absolutely fantastic service

Couldn't be better

A home from home

Our dog Billy absolutely loves going to Bev’s for day care, as he gets to spend the day doing his two favourite things - walking and snoozing! We re-homed him last year, and think he had spent a lot of his life being left alone at home for most of the day. Since going to Bev’s, Billy has become much more confident and playful, and his days at day care have helped him to socialise and make lots of doggy friends! Bev is so kind to all the dogs, and her background as a veterinary nurse gives us complete peace of mind. The dogs go out on exciting and varied walks, and can then relax in her comfortable home. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for Billy, and would recommend Bev’s services to everyone!

We are so grateful to Beverley and Flora for making Stan’s first stay with them a comfortable and well cared for one. The daily updates, photos and videos were a great comfort while we were away. Stan obviously enjoyed his walks and runs and his time with them. Thanks again to Bev & Flora. Great service.

Beverley provides a first class service. Our cats are extremely well cared for and we think they may prefer Beverley to us 😂. Highly recommended! …

My spaniel has a wonderful time with Bev, Flora and the daycare dogs. Bev is very caring and clearly puts time & effort into making sure the dogs are well integrated and happy. She takes them on lovely walks, which my active dog loves. Bev also provides videos and photos to show the happy time they are having in the beautiful countryside of South Somerset. I am very pleased with this special and unique service that ensures my dog is exercised, engaged and has an enriched experience. The dogs are well looked after and safe. He comes home after a good day with his friends, tail wagging and happy!!

Bev has visited our cat for the last 10 months on a regular basis and is absolutely excellent. She cares for our cat impeccably well and keeps us updated with WhatsApp photos/videos on every visit. Bev also ensures our home is secure and locked after each visit. Thankfully our pet has not been unwell whilst we have been away, but I am confident that Bev would address any illness issues of our cat swiftly and keep us informed. Thank you for all you do!

Our dog Bertie has a lovely time at daycare with Happy Pets and Paws. Bev makes sure all of the dogs get on well, they have different walks every day and lots of one on one interaction too as they are never in a big group. We also get lots of updates and videos on their walks. Would highly recommend for any daycare or walking services.

For assurance that your dogs and cats are in good hands when you go on holiday then get peace of mind with Bev at Happy Pets and Paws in Ilminster. After many years of excellent, caring attention we would highly recommend Bev. We have cats - at times many cats! - and they really do enjoy staying at home rather than going away for their holiday. They were getting stressed being taken away to holiday homes and then again on the return trip. Bev allows them to remain in their own familiar home in stress free surroundings. We have had cats with a wide range of ages and requirements, including some old timers like us requiring medications, but Bev provides all the care they need. As she is a qualified veterinary nurse, this is an obvious bonus because we know that she will spot if something is not right and will be on hand to sort it out. Bev also keeps us updated while we are away and you can hear the love and attention she provides. We have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants a professional, caring and friendly ‘mum’ to keep your pampered ones happy while you are away.

Honey has a fabulous time with Bev and Flora (and the rest of the gang) Bev provides a caring service with excellent communication and is flexible with our working hours. We have used HPP for boarding as well and it is reassuring knowing Honey has so much fun while we are away. We especially like that Bev only accepts well mannered and sociable dogs. Would highly recommend and we intend to continue sending Honey to HPP for many years to come!

Highly qualified, very professional dog Walker and carer. Unhappy that we hadn’t used all of the same commands as she uses, for dog training. Has a very small garden. Own dog and our dog just didn’t click? No idea why. So despite having paid lots of money for a holiday we had to then cancel. When we tried to book again we were rejected. Lots of time wasted as we wanted someone for emergencies and dog free occasions like Weddings . Paid for test visits, and accepted. Then when we needed help we had to start searching all over again. I’m disabled and have limited mobility so this was a big problem.

My dog has been going to Happy Pets & Paws for daycare for about 7 years now, and still absolutely loves it. Bev provides a very high quality service and always puts the dogs and their welfare first, all whilst being extremely professional and totally reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.

Lily & Rosco say they loved Paws and Klaws when they rented out a field they had so so much fun esp Lily as she cannot be let off as her recall is so bad so she made the most of every second! Lily and Rosco absolutely recommend it as it’s enclosed and safe with fabric up so the dogs can’t see anything through the fence it has lots of agility equipment in it and water bowl and lots of tennis balls to chase they can’t plant it and will be returning as soon as possible they are both tired out and sleeping! (COLLIES)

If would come every day if I could ! Absolutely fantastic !!! I cannot recommend enough! I hired the pool and it was incredible. Spare towels, plenty of balls, shelter if needed, a net to get toys out of the water, a ladder for accessibility for humans and even doggy planks for them to get out of the water! Amazing quality for price ! We brought our 5 dogs for £20 and a 50 minute session. Alex was incredibly helpful too so thank you very much!! I’ve booked for next month already!

Though it’s been over a year, I still feel strongly about what happened during my dog’s stay, so I wanted to share my experience. I had booked my Giant Schnauzer into Paws and Claws for a three-week stay while I was due to travel to Australia. After just one day, however, I received a call from the kennel informing me that my dog had bitten a staff member’s finger, and they insisted I collect him immediately despite my travel plans. Their website promises that pets will be 'cuddled, stroked, warm, loved, played with, and kept in utmost comfort throughout their stay,' but in my case, it seemed they were unprepared to handle a breed like a Giant Schnauzer. My dog has a protective nature and can be anxious around unfamiliar people. I believe that, due to this lack of understanding, a staff member was bitten while trying to photograph him. If you have a dog with an anxious or protective temperament, I recommend seeking a kennel with experience handling similar breeds. This experience was both stressful and disappointing, and I would advise others to be cautious if they own dogs with similar needs.

Booked to use the secure field so my younger pup could have some off lead fun with my older dog. Great facilities, dogs had a blast and loved all the agility equipment.

Amazing place for you dog, we used their day care when we travelled to Yeovil, and we were welcome very warmly! It was a first for Snow, and she did not want to go back home! Very highly recommended!

Took my boy, and my friends dog to paws n klaws today, my first time not theirs. We had an absolute blast. The staff were so beyond kind and helpful. The dogs had the beat time and so did we the pool was the perfect temp aswell during the heat. We can't wait to come back 🙌 …

Jasper enjoys puppy play enormously and comes home exhausted. He has also made loads of friends. The staff are very friendly and happy to chat and help if any issues. Highly recommend 😁 …

What a setup and what an amazing bunch of people. Lulu LOVES doggy daycare. They pick her up drop her off and she has the best time with all her buddies.

Charlie loves it at Paws n Klaws - he is so excited when he arrives and doesn't want to leave. The staff are fantastic.

Friendly staff and the secure fields are well maintained

This is a wonderful place, My hens have stayed here on 3 occasions with a fourth booked for mid August

Debbie recently looked after our ducks & chickens for 10 days whilst we were abroad. We got daily updates with photos, which really put my mind at ease as I was so worried about leaving them. She was amazing, and she really did look after them for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services.

I highly recommend Pet Sitting Bridgwater. Debbie is the most caring person I have ever met. She took great care of our two cats while we were away, giving them the best care, treats and lots of petting 🥰 I was so impressed by her professionalism and reliabity. She was sending us daily texts about how our furry babies are doing, she even went the extra mile and bought them treats and toys. Special bonus the chocolates waiting for us when we returned home. If you are looking for a person to look after your precious pets look no further. Thank you Debbie xx

Debbie looks after our two cats Dotty and Ziggy when we are away. We highly recommend her she is Professional and passionate about our pets. She updates us daily with photos and messages. Reliable and very good value for money. Thanks Debbie for all you do. Trudy and Mike

Debbie is caring, efficient and professional. I have a nervous cat, and was worried about leaving her. I had no need to worry, as 'Moomoo' was very happy with Debbie... and she loved the cat treats! Debbie sent me daily updates and pictures. I will definitely be asking Debbie to look after Moomoo in the future.

We were concerned at first about using a service and a stranger to look after our nervous cat Mia, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. Debbie soon put our fears to bed and we couldn’t have asked for someone better to look after her. It’s a fantastic service and I’m so pleased that I didn’t have to leave Mia in a strange cattery. When we returned from holiday Mia was happy & chilled, all her food bowls were clean and plenty of water in her bowl. We will certainly use Debbie & pet sitting again and can’t recommend this service highly enough.

Debbie has walked my two dogs n I feel very happy with all she does for me , even on short notice. Only person so far I trust with them , many thanks xx will definitely use again.highly recommend her guys .

We know our cats are in safe hands with Debbie, she sends us photos and updates daily putting our minds at rest while we enjoy our holiday. Would highly recommend

Debbie just looked after Ione and Oliver for 5 days, she did a wonderful job all excellent lots of pictures sent to us house all tidy when we got back home Debbie is a real treasure excellent five stars

Debbie really went above and beyond, looking after my cats and my home as I would. Really helped me relax and enjoy my holiday. Highly recommended, the extra touches were unexpected and very much appreciated 🥰 xxxx

Thanks very much Emma for giving me 5 stars, really appreciated. Debbie :)

Lyndsay is fantastic. I would highly recommend her. She has been looking after my Cats before she started her business. I trust her 100%. She was almost as sad as me when my cats sadly died and was excited to meet my little adoptee. She takes exceptional care of her, grooming and playing with her - and that all important feeding! I love the photos she sends through, always reassuring me that all is well. Crumble is always happy to see me when I get back but I know she’s in safe hands with Lyndsay. It makes going away possible as I know Crumble will get as much love and attention as I would give her were I there!

As a first time "puppy mummy", its quite daunting leaving your little fur baby with anyone else but having used Safe Hanns on many occasions over the last year, i will never use anyone else! Lyndsay and family are fantastic with our Labrador, Georgie and my mind is completely at ease when we go anywhere and cant take the pup. Whether its walks, playtime or just lots of cuddles, I can always guarantee that Georgie is always treated like a princess and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you so much and see you soon!!! Xx

Lindsay is an absolute god send ! We first started using Lindsay when I was heavily pregnant and my partner was working away . From the start my dog (reactive) took to her extremely well . She took all of our worries on board and now buddy is absolutely loving his 2 weekly walks . He waits at the door on the days she is due . We have pictures sent of him when they go for walks and always have a debrief of how he was on his walk . She always goes above and beyond her dog walking duties and has become a lovely friend xx

Lyndsay has looked after my cat, William, on more than one occasion, over the past year. She is a conscientious and caring person who understands animals very well. She is also very reliable and communicative - I really appreciated her reassuring updates whilst I was away. I would highly recommend Lyndsay and her service.

Lyndsay is incredibly professional and great with our dogs who each have their own quirks - one who doesn't like other dogs and one who chases after runners & bikes!! They love her & I always know that when she's out with them she gives them the utmost care. Regular updates via WhatsApp and helpful tips about how to stop our BFG from pulling you over! Would definitely recommend

Lyndsay is fantastic 👏 my dog absolutely adores her. ❤ nothing is ever too much for her. Trustworthy and empathic with my dog. She is more than just our dog walker. She's become part of our little family. If you need some help with your pets, look no further Safe Hann's is perfect. 😇😁

She goes above and beyond to look after our beloved giggles. I would use her services again if I got another dog. I highly recommend this dog Walker.

Lyndsay is great! My dogs ( unfortunately now dog) absolutely love her. Very trustworthy and super reliable!

Lyndsay is absolutely amazing with my 3 girls, this statement is not to be taken lightly as I am THAT overprotective furbaby mum. Completely trustworthy, has a key to my home as she walks them whilst I'm at work , always reliable and gives me regular updates and pics to put my mind at ease, they are really 3 happy little girls when they see lyndsay ❤

Safe Hanns offer high quality care for your much loved pets

My 2 dogs have been boarding with Tina and Dave for the last 10 years. Absolutely fantastic service and they always have a great time. 2 days before the dogs last stay one was diagnosed with an illness and arrived with lots of meds and prescribed food. Tina and Dave are so experienced they reassured us all would be ok and it was. Our dog was back to his bouncy self when we picked him up. I cannot recommend this kennels enough.

Great kennels with really nice team who look after your pets as if they are your own. Very reasonable priced too and highly recommended

We have used Wood Drive on many occasions and Bryn has always been very well looked after. He is not a good mixer but Tina selects other dogs for him to play with so he always has company in the exercise area. They are always our first choice of kennels

First time using Wood Drove Boarding Kennels. We left our boy for two weeks. We were afraid that when we got back he would have put weight on. When we picked him up we could see he was looked after and he was happy. We will definitely bring our boy back. Thanks Tina and her team for looking after our boy.

I thoroughly recommend this kennels! We've been taking our nervous and reactive GSD X to Wood Drove since the rescue centre she came from recommended Tina and Dave almost 10 years ago. Tina and Dave are wonderful with her (as they are with all dogs!), and we'd never want to take her anywhere else.

We were recommended Wood Drove by friends and they were absolutely right, Tina and Dave are brilliant with our dog. She trots off happily with them and we love seeing the photos posted on Facebook whilst we are away. She clearly enjoys her time away and we recommend Wood Drove without hesitation.

We love Wood Drove Kennels. They have been looking after our dog Florence for a number of years. Tina and the team are first class. It has a great atmosphere and we really trust Florence to Wood Drove. Thanks again for looking after Florence. Amazing. Geoff, Carolyn and Florence.

We've used Wood Drove for a number of years and very happy with the service. Bertie our Welsh Terrier loves going on his holidays with Tina and her team.

First time for Leonard going to the kennels and I’m not going to lie we were rather anxious to leave him for 4 days. When dropping him off they were very friendly and knowledgeable and that put us at ease. When picking him up they said he had the best time and very well behaved. He looked really happy. He can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend. Leonard will see you soon.

We have used Wood Drove for over ten years. Staff always friendly and polite and Ben, our dog, is always happy to go there. As Ben has aged and needed medication the staff have been both professional and caring towards him. Can't recommend highly enough. Andy and Sally Foyne

Barking mad were wonderful with our old girl tasia they looked after her while we went away. We would not hesitate to use them again. Thankyou once again

Barking Mad Taunton found us the perfect host for our two dogs while we had a lovely holiday knowing our dogs were being well cared for. After the distress they suffered after their last time in kennels this is the perfect solution. Will certainly use them again.
