Dog Sitters in Midsomer Norton

Sarah was absolutely perfect, friendly and caring. We kept in touch daily and knew what Jock was up to with the photos attached to every message. He was very happy, has been looked after for almost 2 weeks and enjoyed house visits with the walks around the areas he knows well. We will definitely be going to use Midsomer Mutts services again.

Sarah has built an amazing team who are all a credit. My JR Millie, is well looked after in their care and loves her group and 1:1 walks. I love the photos of her adventures and so happy to see how much she enjoys herself.

I can’t recommend Sarah and the team enough. I have a very strong energetic German Shepherd who gets so excited when Sarah comes to the door for his regular walks. We have also been on holiday and had peace of mind that he was in good hands and being cared for. She is amazing.

We have been on holiday this week and Sarah and Emily walked our dog Bertie and he had an amazing time . It was so good knowing he had great care and they kept us in touch every day with pictures and videos of their adventures . Highly recommended

We recently moved into the Midsomer Norton area and have been using Midsomer Mutts for walks and home visits for our dog on a weekly basis over the last few months. Sarah & the team take so much care to make sure our dog is looked after well and are always flexible to accommodate our needs as best they can. It’s reassuring as an owner to know our dog is in such good care. I’d highly recommend Midsomer Mutt’s services ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am so relieved to have found Sarah. My very attached and large dog is completely relaxed and comfortable with her and looks forward to his walks. Sarah works with him to meet his needs and makes sure he is always happy. She has a wonderful way with dogs and treats them all with love, patience and respect. Thank you Sarah!

My dog Mika has been on a couple of walks with Sarah so far and is looking forward to many more! Midsomer Mutts provides a reliable service and Sarah always sends through a pupdate, which is fab! It's also very evident that Sarah genuinely loves dogs and Mika is always thrilled to see her, which speaks volumes. Thank you Sarah and Midsomer Mutts!

Jett loves his walks.an old boy with alot of energy. Hes well looked after when out for his group walks

Exceptional service throughout I’m a Registered Vet Nurse & genuinely would not use anyone else! I filtered through several others, but nobody compared for my young dog who has specific needs as a PAT in training dog

I wouldn't trust Bailey with anyone else, thank you Sarah, Emily and justyna x

Livy and her wonderful family have been boarding my dogs at their lovely home for at least 6 years. They are always well cared for and I can relax when I’m on holiday as my dogs are taken into their family home and treated like part of the family. I would highly recommend Scally Waggers to anyone who needs dog boarding in Somerset.

Brilliant home from home boarding. Mable loves her second family and we can relax knowing she is safe and having a good time.

Scally Waggers Dog Care Service is definitely 5 star! I contacted Livi when Dougie (our giant golden doodle) was just a puppy, due to Dougie’s size and over friendly nature we had to ensure we found the right doggy day care and boarding service who was comfortable with larger dogs. Livi instantly put my mind at ease and arranged a meet and greet. During the meet and greet Doug had a chance to play with the other dogs whilst Livi observed to make sure we were all comfortable. Dougie instantly looked relaxed, that was 6 years ago and we could not be more pleased, Doug gets so excited when he sees Livi and the whole family - they treat him as part of their family whilst he’s with them it’s a real home from home, I often get the impression when I pick him up that he doesn’t want to leave as he’s had such a lovely time. Livi is loving but firm which is exactly what Dougie needs. Dougie sadly started having the occasional seizure when he was 3yrs old, Livi has been great during these times giving so much support and advice. It certainly puts our minds at ease and means we can go on holiday without having to worry about Dougie as we know he’s having so much fun with Livi and the family, plus during Dougie’s stays we see on the Scally Waggers Facebook page pictures of the adventures they have during his walks, usually playing with Livi’s own dog Sid! I honestly cannot recommend them enough!

Amazing service ! Always goes the extra mile with walking and boarding ! I’ve never ever had to Worry one second when away on holiday or at work , in fact my dog gets luxuriously Pampered every time she goes to livs, and has her own little holiday herself ! Just the best at what she does , so trustworthy , so adaptable and reliable . I cannot recommend her enough in all aspects of canine care she offers

My Dog Griffin loves Livi A LOT. I think he sometimes likes her more than, and he loves going to stay. Livi makes sure Griffin is happy, well looked after, well walked and loved. Wonderful woman and wonderful service

Livi looked after our Weimaraner brilliantly and it meant I could go away and not worry about him. He doesn’t like to be parted from me but he settled well. She was able to accommodate special requirements for walking and sleeping with no problem and I would highly recommend Scally Waggers

Livi @ Scally Waggers has provided excellent loving care for our springer who absolutely loves her time there with the family, almost home from home! Text and photo updates were so welcome and gave us complete peace of mind that all was well and our pooch was happy and very well looked after. I can highly recommend Livi.

Whether it’s an over night stay or a whole week, Otis loves his own little holiday away from home because it’s just that a home away from home. He loves being part of the family and gets on with whichever other dogs are there. I wouldn’t let him holiday anywhere else. Super super care.

My Yorkshire Terrier has stayed with Livi a number of times. I can go away and not worry about him. Worth every penny!

My golden doodle loves coming to Scallywaggers and has for the past 3 years. It’s like ‘home from home’ Really caring, homely but also professional. Really recommend.

The two photos attached to this review would have been unimaginable three months ago before we started our 1-2-1 training with Andrew. We have been struggling with our dog’s reactivity to other dogs and sometimes humans, in particular cyclists and runners, since adopting him. We have tried training with two previous trainers before Andrew and had little success. We spent the last twelve weeks with Andrew following his guidance and training, which focused on us learning to be better dog owners and engaging with the dog. Andrew was patient and very clear with the training including the needs of the dog. While it hasn’t been easy it has been incredibly rewarding. No longer do we need to wake up at the crack of dawn to walk the dog or have to be on the constant look out for other dogs. Walking the dog has now become an enjoyable experience and we have both become a lot more confident dog owners. We know our training doesn’t stop here and we ourselves have to carry the baton, but we are happy the future is bright thanks to Andrew and his training.

Friendly staff, our dog loved his day care stay with them!

Great to meet a really experienced, enthusiastic dog-man. I listened, I did what he advised and it turned around my difficult boy. Brilliant. If you've got a problem with a dog, go see Andy.

We can not rate Woodborough and the staff there highly enough. We have two rescue dogs and one of them is reactive to other dogs, so deciding what day care and kennel option to use was a very important decision. The staff at Woodborough have been fantastic, the dogs welfare is their top priority and they are very knowledgeable. Our dogs are happy to go back which speaks volumes.

I just wanted to post to warn everyone of what a horrible and unpleasant man, Andrew Rowley from Woodborough Kennels is. I had heard a few good things about the kennels, so called about my nervous rescue dog. I'm shaking after the call. He basically laughed at me when I first told him I had a nervous foreign rescue, "so you brought a wild animal over and expect it to be ok", and then when I told him my dog was on vet prescribed medication completely turned on me and told me I was cruel, horrible and stupid for deciding to take in 'a wild animal' and 'drugging it so it's like a zombie'. We have a nervous greek rescue, who has come on so amazingly thanks to daily hard work, working with a behaviourist and the support of reconcile (fluoxetine - not a decision we took lightly, but one we decided to try after 6 months and have seen incredible improvements), he is improving every day and is certainly not drooling or sedated. I want to warn people about a very unpleasant man and kennel facility with very outdated and judgemental views. What a horrible, horrible person.

Good for big dogs my Mastiff Rottweiler crossbreed is comfortable here

We were apprehensive about boarding our dog for the first time and Woodborough came highly recommended. The communication throughout his stay was great with regular pictures and updates. We are so happy to have found a safe place our boy can stay when we need it.

My dog needed some medical treatment whilst boarding, I cannot say strongly enough how amazing the staff were (especially Amy). Arranged treatment, took him to the vet and kept me fully informed. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much

Have used these kennels several times and my dogs love it as they get lots of play time and the kennels are heated. The staff are all friendly and polite. Not quite a home from home but a second best!

I would highly recommend Woodborough Kennels. I put Eddie in day care from about 4 months old and he absolutely loved it. He was given lots of attention and exercise and always came home exhausted. We then progressed to Stay and Train Day Care in conjunction with one to one training. Andrew and Amy were absolutely brilliant. They explained the rationale behind the various training exercises, provided supporting printouts and helped me understand how the various methods worked. Their YouTube training videos are also really helpful as a reminder of what we learned (Eddie loves watching them too!). Thank you so much from one very well-behaved dog and one very happy owner!

We could not recommend Pawfections service more! Sharn has looked after our two cats on two occasions when we've left for holiday and we have been totally at ease knowing she was coming along to feed them, spend some time with them and just making sure everything was okay! Sharn goes above and beyond, sending photo and video updates and giving them some treats when she visits! We will for sure be calling her back every time we go away!

Fantastic walking service. Raquel treated Snowy as if he was her own and always gives good knowledgeable advice when we asked questions about his care. He absolutely loves her and loves walking with Marla. I highly recommend Pawfections - I couldn't have asked for better people to help walk Snowy.

Sharn has recently looked after my two young cats for the first time. She was amazing at winning their confidence and l returned home to two very happy cats. She sent me videos everyday and even dealt with a shrew that found it’s way into the house ! A first class service, highly recommended 🥰 …

My dog Buddy always has an amazing experience with Sharn. She s incredibly kind, reliable and trustworthy. . She spends so much time playing with Buddy building up his trust showing she is a genuine dog lover. My dog adores her and I am always more than happy to leave him in her care. I highly recommend Sharn for anyone looking for a caring and dedicated dog sitter.

Absolutely brilliant dog walkers! Always prompt in responding and always making sure to accommodate requests. Our dog loves her long countryside walks with Raquel and always gets super excited to be picked up. Raquel genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and being a veterinary nurse makes us feel extra safe and in trusted hands. Highly recommend!

Sharn has been so incredible checking in on my little kitten! He has grown rather fond of her, and I actually suspect prefers her to me! I love receiving updates after her visits, and I am genuinely reassured that my little boy is happy, fed, and played with. I couldn't recommend enough!!

We have been very pleased to be able to trust Sharn to look after our dogs and cats whilst we have been away. She also affectionately calls our dogs 'the bears'. We have a very positive and amicable relationship and communication between ourselves is effective at all times, which includes discussions around our needs and timings needed but also regular updates and photos when we are away. We feel it is reassuring to know that someone is there to check in and keep company to our pets whilst we are not at home. Sharn is also a huge pet lover and our animals definitely feel this connection with her. She gives them plenty of affection, and it is clear that my pets enjoy when she comes round to stay with them. This is definitely the kind of approach that we are looking for when leaving our pets to go on holiday, someone we can trust and who also became part of the pet's environment, with the reassurance that everything is under control! Finally, we always appreciate the little extra things that Sharn does like picking up parcels or cleaning up the cat litter tray. A first rate service in our opinion!

Wonderful ladies, who care for my dog Harper like she is their own. Harper is excited to see Sharn every week and I know that she gets the best walk, with lots of love and treats. I am so happy I found this amazing these lovely people and I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone considering a dog Walker/pet sitter.

Raquel has worked so hard to build my dogs confidence & he enjoys his walks with her. He is anxious so she has built things up gradually with him, getting him used to new places in his own time. This is exactly what he needs. She is always punctual & keeps me up to date with timings/photos etc. We are so glad we found her 😄 …

Raquel and her team provide a fabulous service which our 3 dogs benefit from. As Raquel was a veterinary nurse she can also help with any issues your pet may have which is really helpful too. Our Labrador Millie was bred from her dog, and she is a joy. Would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend this service enough! The staff are always so helpful and have been so patient with Brucie and his separation anxiety. Brucie loves going on his walks, I love the reports we get after the walk to see how he has got on.... although today there was traffic issues when I receive these pictures I can truly see how much the staff love the doggies and really enjoy their jobs! Thank you so much to Sophie & the team 💙

Fabulous grooming service. So happy to discover that HPCS offer this. Our Cavapoochon always comes out happy and looking gorgeous. Great teeth cleaning process too. Chloe is lovely. Highly recommend.

Mabel has been going out for weekly walks for over a year now. She loves getting together with other dogs and gets so excited when the van pulls onto our driveway. I highly recommend heathers pet care services and always mention them to other dog owners.

Just finished Heathers pet services puppy classes as Rosemary Lodge. We really enjoyed the sessions and my pup and I will both benefit from what we have learnt. Sophie N was fantastic. She is really engaging, knowledgeable and always ready to answer any questions separate from the lesson content. I wasn’t looking forward to being out on a cold Wednesday evening but am now sad it’s finished. Would def recommend. Will be looking to book some of Heather’s other pet services.

We did not have the best experience with Heather’s Pet Services. We genuinely appreciated how understanding and hard working the staff were, however the customer service really let us and our two cats down. I understand this is a predominantly dog-centred service, but we were assured they could look after Persian cats and their additional specific needs. We were extremely anxious about leaving our cats alone, to the point that it’s prevented us from taking trips since before the pandemic. It took a few visits for them to get used to these and I took particular care to update our information in their online portal. After each visit we could tell the staff really took on our feedback, which was amazing. However, on arriving home after the last two visits, we found one or both cats had become unwell and left unpleasant smells and messes to attend to, definitely not a nice environment to come home to after being away. After letting customer service know about this, the response was very unsympathetic and unprofessional. We were blamed for their errors and told we were at fault for making a staff member ill with the feedback we gave previously. I have never come across a business take so little responsibility for the quality of their services (at frankly extortionate prices) or the wellbeing of their staff, and I was particularly shocked by the lack of interest in the wellbeing of our cats after the final visit. Unfortunately, we would not feel safe leaving our cats under their supervision again.

About 5 years ago our cockapoo Barney began to get very agitated whilst being groomed. This got steadily worse to the point that the groomer said they would not be able to groom him without him being sedated…. We did this reluctantly, as we hated the effect the drugs had on him. I was chatting it through with the vet as this had been going on for a couple of years and I felt that it could not be good to do this as Barney was nearing 9. A number of people mentioned that Heather’s pets had a lady who was a trained dog behaviourist and wonderfully patient grooming team. I felt it was worth a go although did wonder if the saying ‘ you cannot teach an old dog new tricks’ would be validated! Sophie a trained dog behaviourist and Chloe the chief groomer have worked wonders- between them they have taken time with Barney to ensure he is comfortable with them and in their grooming room. They have cared for him and eased him in gradually to being able to be first washed and cleaned with them and now groomed without any sedation at all! It is such a relief and I am so grateful- they always reassured me too that I was not being a paranoid dog owner and that it would be worth taking this time- and it certainly has been. We are all so thankful they are fantastic!

My dog has been having regular weekly walks with the staff at heathers pet care services. Mabel loves being collected and going out with a group of dogs. The staff are dedicated animal lovers and take great care of your pets. Mabel has a brilliant bond with whichever walker she has and get super excited when she sees them walk up our path. I Highly reccomend heathers pet care services

Heather’s Pet Care Services is fantastic! I attended the puppy training classes & found them to be really informative, interactive & supportive. Sophie led the classes & found her to be really professional, helpful & so knowledgeable! I also take my dog along to their pet groomer Chloe, who has been amazing with her & always do a fantastic groom. My dog was not keen with being groomed, however in Chloe’s care, we haven’t looked back! I thoroughly recommend you use Heather’s Pet care Services for all your pet needs!

We have only positive things to say about both Sophie and Heathers Pet Care Services. We arranged some 121 sessions with Sophie for our little Cockapoo recently - and Sophie was so friendly, knowledgeable and Sophie made every session exciting. Our Cockapoo was so entertained, and we've taken all the training notes, games and general advice moving forwards and we can't wait to use the services again. Thanks again :)

We have used Heathers for a number of years now for group walking, grooming, puppy training and 121 dog training. They are all excellent and the online booking system is very helpful. Would highly recommend to any dog owners in Bath area.

Sam at Helping Hound Dog walking has been amazing for our family. Marvin our three year old black lab loves Sam and her woodland adventures. He honestly waits by the front door every time waiting for her arrival. She’s been very patient with him being very bouncy and just has the most natural connection with dogs. Her calm and confident nature with him has been so helpful for his development and he loves jumping in her van for the next adventure. Can’t recommend more!!

Sam has been walking my pooch for a few years now!! And he absolutely loves her! As soon as he sees her van, he's the most excited boy ever! I can always see he is loving it, as i get videos and pictures. And im sure the pooches pose! 🙂 She is just absolutely brilliant! Wouldn't want my boy with anyone else! Thank you sam!

Super friendly, reliable dog walking service and someone who truly loves dogs, I trust Sam implicitly with Arthur!! Highly recommend!!

Would highly recommend Sam for anyone who is looking for someone to walk their dog. Sam is caring and trustworthy and my dog is excited to see her every week.

Brilliant service kept me updated with how the animals were over the weekend walking 2 dogs 2 horses and a cat cannot recommend highly enough xx

Our dog loves his time there.

Lovely place, Jackie is very pleasant & goes our of her way to accommodate. Would definitely recommend & I'll definitely use again for my cat.

My cat, Archie, is always well looked after at Midsomer Pet Lodge. The cats have lots of space while there and the "rooms" are set around a central outdoor space so the animals get fresh air and natural light. The facility is very clean and the staff are lovely.

A really good experience here. Jackie is very friendly and accommodating - - felt completely comfortable leaving our cat here while we went on holiday

Good facilities in a nice - if perhaps a little remote - location. U-shaped set of cubicles with good adjustable window coverings for when it is hot or cold. Very friendly and helpful service. Will happily use again for our cats.

Our cats really enjoyed their stay at Midsomer Pet Lodge. They were really well looked after - the staff took the time to play with them and brush them as well providing the occasional treat. As for us, we were really impressed with the cleanliness of MPL and the super friendly staff and owner. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and we will shortly be booking our cats in for next year's holiday. Highly recommended.

5 STAR Pet Lodging for my fur boy Jasper John. Very friendly staff, clean, quiet, lovely facility. Fairly priced...and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend. (When I was away, I sent them a text to see how my baby was doing. They quickly replied and gave me the reassurance I needed that he was happy, being well looked after, and spoiled!! When I came to collect him, they gave me a little note reporting his behavior during his stay...It was really sweet!) They love cats as much as we do! Thank you Midsomer Pet Lodge :)))

Friendly and accommodating, definitely a cat lover

Holly and Piper enjoyed their stay.So looked after for 2 weeks and at short notice was able to stay an extra night. Such a friendly and well ran place. Would definitely recommend 👌. …

Lovey staff. Great place. Very clean and tidy. Relaxing countryside location. Both cats were happy and clearly well cared for during their two week stay

Excellent facility, clean and uncluttered. My cat has stayed a number of times and is always well cared for. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.I recommend this cattery.
