Dog Sitters in Old Malton

Louise looked after my Weimaraner really well. She was so attentive and kind. During the day she gave me several updates as Adelphi was wary and a bit nervous. Louise let her find her ‘paws’ and she then settled down. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Louise and Paws 4 Walkies for looking after your beloved dog. Her professionalism and caring nature for all the dogs in her care made me feel very relaxed knowing that Adelphi was being looked after superbly. Thank you Louise for your help with Adelphi Cathy M

Bracken has been boarding for the last 5 nights and has had the personal attention of Louise. He has been kept to his normal routine - walks and feeds, which is very important for any pet. No kennel would give this kind of attention to detail for your pet. Bracken didn't want to come home and has had a very stress free experience. Many thanks.

Rocky spent 2 days with Louise enjoying doggy day care. I was a little apprehensive as Rocky had never stayed with anyone other than ourselves, but I needn't have worried. Rocky soon settled in and made himself right at home! Louise took great care of him. He enjoyed some lovely long muddy walks (his favourite!) and returned home happy and content and ready for a nice long snooze. I can't recommend Louise at Paws 4 Walkies highly enough.

Fezzi really enjoyed enjoyed his 2 days at paws4walkies. We felt Fezzi was was in a good place, so we were able to relax and enjoy our days out.

Used Paws 4 walkies to look after our pup for a one off ocassion while on holiday. Great set up for the dogs and Louise kept in touch during the day with photos, putting our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend and use again 😊 …

We use paws4walkies a couple of times a week for dog walks and Louise is so kind and happy to answer any query. We love the photo updates to see how much fun Bertie is having with the other dogs!

Bertie loves going and is knackered when he gets home which is great x

Jess is amazing and l don't know what l would do without her. I have two Cyprus rescues who have really bad separation anxiety, which means l can't leave them home alone ever without them trying to get out after ne Jess came to my rescue and as l don't drive she takes them to Kennels and Pet sits if l have any appointments, they love her to bits.

Jess does pop in calls to my elderly dog whilst I'm at work. Jess is kind and caring towards my dog. Jess is very reliable and sends me photos and updates when she visits. Jess is also very flexible with days and times. I would definitely recommend Jess for your pets needs.

Jess looked after our dog whilst we got married and was really accommodating with our dilemma about whether we wanted her to bring the dog to the wedding for a bit and didn’t pressure us to make a decision about it. In the end we decided not to, but Jess stayed at our house and sent us regular updates. Jess was really friendly and nothing was too much bother for her. Would definitely recommend!

It's been a pleasure to have Jess looking after Patch & Nora. It's total peace of mind not having to worry about a cattery. Jess checks in on them daily, refreshes the food, water and litter and gives them some play time and cuddles. I would definitely recommend Jess if need a reliable pet sitter 👍🏻

Jess fed our rather antisocial cat for us, several times, while we were on holiday. Friendly, flexible service. Jess is uber professional and caring. Highly recommend 😻 …

Having moved to Malton we needed a reliable dog walker for our Weerianian Winnie and couldn't be happier with our choice of Jess. We get updates on her walks, where she is going along with pictures as well as the occasional video, which is a lovely touch. We can't recommend Jess highly enough to any one looking for a trusted dog walker who is both professional as well as competitive in price.

Jess has helped my anxious dog settle really well. He loves going for walks with her twice a week. Communication is fantastic too.

Jess looked after our guinea pigs for just over a week back in August. Really professional, catered to our particular requests and sent updates through to reassure our daughter that her piggies were ok. Recommended!

Jess walks our boarder collie 6 mornings a week. We receive photos and videos on a daily basis. I would highly recommend Jess, she's very passionate about our dog and nothing is to much trouble for her.

Jess really helped us out when we had no-one to look after our dog. She did a check in on our dog and kept us up to date with regular messages and photos. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately didn’t even get to sample, we booked in with two dogs in March and gave full description of needs, one of my dogs is on medication as he has IVDD, which affects his mobility… We said we had a set of wheels that would help them when letting him Out for a walk. I was told that they couldn’t possibly do this as they dont have the time to be messing with the aids! I said that was fine and that it was just to support but he doesn’t always need it, but was then told they couldn’t accommodate a dog with a disability, which is shocking!! I also said that he may need to be let out fairly early around 6:30/7 for his toilet as he can’t hold it for hours on end, he is not incontinent, just need regular toilet breaks, again they said that they did t have the time to accommodate. They then said that they are going to have to cancel the booking leaving us virtually no time to find somebody else at such short notice! I was so disappointed with the lack of care and empathy for my poor dog, the wheels take only 5 seconds to attach but they did t have the time. I didn’t think that Such discrimination was poignant within the canine world. I would not entertain these boarding kennels, and pity any dog that may have a disability.

Happy paws is a well appointed kennels in a countryside location with plenty of secure exercise areas and comfortable accommodation. Rosie and her team are brilliant, and their love of animals very apparent. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe welcoming kennels for their pets.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The only place we will leave our dogs! The fact that our dogs get excited when we go down their lane, says it all. Clean and tidy kennels with excellent facilities for exercise. Rosie & the team are excellent. Thank you!

At the time of the one star rating by Valerie Elton,Rosie was/is having issues with her phone, no O2 signal in the area, so is UNABLE to pick up messages straight away and respond quickly. She has a back log of people to contact and is doing all she can! She does not have time to sit inside all day calling people from her landline as the care of the dogs currently boarding take priority. Please be kind! Please be patient!

My dog has loved coming to these kennels over several years. The care is exemplary and on every occasion I was completely satisfied. You know when your dog hasn't been happy and I can honestly say she loved it. Rosie and Richard go the extra mile, and all staff I have ever dealt with have been caring, dedicated and willing to accommodate my dog's needs. The kennels are always clean and the atmosphere relaxed. They follow instructions to the hilt and I really can't recommend them enough. Be reassured your dog will be well cared for and will undoubtedly love it's stay.

We took Ellie here after being let down by our usual kennels, Ellie enjoyed her stay, Rosie is lovely and looks after all of the dogs with love and care. We will definitely carry on using Happy Paws from now on and we can't recommend them enough. Thank you for looking after Ellie whilst we were away.

Excellent kennels with lovely owners who really care about your dog. Our dog Suzy always walks in wagging her tail, which helps when you're leaving your beloved pet when you go on holiday. We use them everytime we go away.

I have telephoned to request a booking. Voice mail says they pick up messages in the evening, and will get back to me the next day. No they don't. I have telephoned 4 times now and no one has returned my call. Or ring Rosie on her mobile. Same thing. Rosie hasn't returned my call either.

Highly recommend Rosie and everyone at Happy Paws! I work as a veterinary nurse and trust my dogs at these kennels 100%! Wouldn't go anywhere else

I have been bringing my dogs here for many years. The service is second to none. My dogs love it here and leap out the car when we arrive! It’s a real home from home and Rosie and Richard are fabulous! Wouldn’t use anywhere else. Immaculately clean.

I have taken my Cocker Spaniel 1 day a week for several months now. When I go to pick him up he really doesn’t want to leave which I’d say is a pretty good indication of how much fun he’s had. Both Claire and Jill really care about the dogs and I trust them to look after my boy.

Our 9 month old puppy stayed here two days whilst we were on holiday locally. Claire was absolutely lovely over the phone, I was nervous about leaving him but didn't need to be, he had the best time playing with the other dogs and you can tell she just loves them all. Would highly recommend!

Our dogs love Dutch Barn where they socialise with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. When we walk down the lane and turn into Dutch Barn they excitedly pull on their leads to get in and see their friends again.

My friend takes her two Bassets on a regular basis and they love it. Plenty of play time and excellent knowledgeable care. Not too many dogs at any one time and regular updates on how thier day (the dogs) is going. Amy is just so wonderful with them.

Our dog spent the day here while we were out for the day. She seemed to have had a lovely day, and we also got an update photo text, which was appreciated.

I’m a small business owner myself so I’m very well aware of how ratings can affect a business. However, it’s with a heavy heart I’m having to write this, but when we take our pet to daycare we put complete trust in the person we’re leaving them with and I do believe people need to have a well rounded view before they make this decision, as if we knew prior to our experience we could have avoided it. Our dog has been going to daycare for the past 3 months and has thoroughly enjoyed it. I can’t deny that. There’s nothing I love more than having a sneaky look on Facebook at work and seeing her running around with her friends having the time of her life! However, my dog (who is 11 months old) is a gobby little thing, and has always been a bit of a barker. We addressed our concerns about this with Mildred on multiple occasions and she said our pup had picked it up from the other dogs and it’s absolutely not a problem, she informed us it’s natural and not something we need to worry about or try to change. We even suggested taking her to a behaviourist but Mildred said the behaviourist would just say the same thing as her and that it isn’t something that needs fixing. We’ve then just had a text to say she can no longer come to daycare because she barks too much and she has a loud bark. I completely understand this could be a problem, however I’m just so shocked with how suddenly we’ve been dropped and with no time to find a solution. Seeing as she isn’t due in daycare until the 7th January after this week, we’d have hoped to have this time to see a behaviourist and find a solution but we have been told very bluntly this isn’t an option. I’ve questioned the suddenness of the problem to Mildred and have been told it’s been a problem in the past week, I’ve also been sent a video of my dog who seems to be in distress and very much not acting herself. Despite how sudden it’s been, Mildred is adamant nothing has happened and that she isn’t poorly. I’m quite frankly shocked at the disregard and lack of care from someone I trusted with my very beloved dog but at least I have an explanation of why we’ve barely been greeted for the past week by Mildred. We’ve just picked her up and my partner went in with the intention of saying nothing but as soon as he arrived, Mildred started shouting at him and trying to shift blame. Before he could even speak she felt the need to throw in that “nothing has happened”, we hadn’t questioned this so it’s incredibly unusual that she brought it up! I must admit we are heartbroken, we’ve allowed our dog who we care about more than anything to go to someone who seems not bothered whether she’s ill or unhappy, she’s just decided she’s happy to never see her again. Even if she were misbehaving, which she hasn’t been, you would assume a “dog lover” would at least be concerned about her wellbeing and sad to see her go but she literally couldn’t care less. Just to add - we don’t have a difficult dog, wherever we go people comment on how well behaved and kind natured she is and given the chance to go to a behaviourist she could have continued to go to the place she loves for many years. I’m both sad, disappointed and shocked and I just wanted to tell this story as a cautionary tale to prevent anyone going through the same thing. I feel sick to my stomach that I’ve allowed a person with this little care for animals to have the responsibility of looking after my dog.

Excellent place to leave your dog for the day. Clare who runs the place is great with the dogs and even messages you through the day to let you know how your friend is

Our dog has been going to Dutch Barn for 3 yrs. Mildred provides an excellent service and very reasonable rates. We trust Mildred impeccably with our dog. Great place.

Mildred is a charming and caring lady. Daisy my 11 year old Labrador had a great day .totally satisfied would highly recommend.

Our dog had her free trial there and absolutely loved it. Great place for dogs to socialise

Does a great job.

Brilliant great staff excellent facilities

Jo is just brilliant with all our dogs, she reads their personalities and traits. We have left our 4 dogs with her knowing that they are in safe hands over the past few years.

We feel very comfortable leaving our dogs Ruby and Ellie with Jo at Church Farm Kennels. All the animals are very well cared for in the warm and clean kennels. Church Farm has just been awarded Five Stars status by the official inspector of Kennels ...well done and well deserved!

This was the first time leaving my cats at a cattery so I was understandably nervous. Jo looked after them incredibly well and reassured me when I contacted her during the week to check on them. Highly recommend Church Farm Kennels 😻

Couldn’t want for a better place for the care of my dogs. The kennels are spotlessly clean, warm and have good exercise areas. Having 3 large breeds (2 pet GSDs & a Dutch Herder x Malinois working dog) it can be difficult leaving them with ‘just anyone’. Jo’s understanding of dog behaviour means your dog will get the best care during its stay. Mine will definitely be coming for another Costa del Kennels holiday at Church Farm. Highly recommended!

Really love the place very neat and friendly staff. I am quite happy leaving my precious dog and good rate will go again. I will highly recommend to everyone.

amazing staff really friendly and help full, facilities are spot less. Can not fault them!!

Great place and great amount of land. Its better thanleaving your dog with a family member

Very good and popular. Simply the best.jo always as a smile.

Best place to leave your pet

Wow and just wow! My dog has severe separation anxiety to the point I wanted to rehome him and struggled on a daily basis as could literally go no where, he follows me from the bed to the toilet and every where I go. I tried him at many doggy Day care centres only to collect him and was told he howeled, cried and was a total mess! Never sent him back as it broke my heart. I really did not want to re home him as how would I know the new owner wouldn’t leave him? Bearing in mind I had private help from amazing dog trainers, no before you ask I did not get my dog during lockdown and NO my dog is not pampered at all and again NO I’m not to blame! Just how he happens to be. I took Bruno to Castle Canine a few times as I hated leaving him even though I work out of the home at work ( in the vicinity of home) I got very busy and didn’t know what to do, hence tried Castle Canine. Christine was so honest the first couple of times Bruno went and informed me he was upset or was howling, however Christine and her family persuaded his issues and Bruno now goes 3/4 times a week and now runs in to see them and their tribe of dogs he loves going so much so he seemingly misses going when home ( well that’s my insecurities) Honestly I could not live without Slingsby doggy day they have helped Bruno and my own family so much I cannot imagine them not being in our lives right now ? Life would change drastically and my Bruno would be so unhappy 😔 love them to bits xxxxx

Absolutely amazing 5* experience here. The family-run firm are really something special and offer fantastic, tailored, luxury care. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else. They keep you updated throughout the day and the facilities are wonderful. My dog loves them and they look after him so well. Would highly recommend, especially to anyone a little nervous about doggy day care (as I was). They immediately put you at ease and keep you updated throughout the day. Thanks so much Castle Canine Care: you’re brilliant!

They don't just look after you're bestest friend... they look after you too!! Our springer Bloom just loves going to doggy day care and loves boarding too. Christine and the gang seem to treat her as one of their own and are so flexible and caring! I can't sing their praises enough.

Castle Canine Care are a family run doggy day care service and it's clear to see how passionate they are about the service they provide. I'm so pleased I found them. The welfare and happiness of the dogs in their care is at the heart of everything they do and is a real home from home experience for them. It's so nice to see my dog go through those gates so happily in the morning, she is always greeted with such fondness and I know I can go off to work for the day knowing she's in the best care possible. They truly do love the dogs as though they were their own, what more could you ask for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Castle Canine Care, nothing is too much trouble. They are very accommodating and flexible and are just the loveliest people to deal with, but more importantly they have a fantastic facility that gives the dogs everything they could possibly need to keep them safe, warm, exercised, treated and happy ... I've only used the day care facility so far, but if I ever needed boarding, I would have no hesitation in leaving my dog in their care.

We couldn’t recommend Castle Canine Care more. Our two sausages, Maxie and Rufus, see Christine and her beautiful family as their second home and family. We trust them implicitly with our little fur babies and honestly can’t thank Christine, Michael, Sam and Chloe enough for loving them (nearly!) as much as we do! We’re so grateful and happy to have found our doggy daycare for life!!

Castle Canine provide an absolute first class service! From day one I was in no doubt Toby would be looked after like one of the family. I dare say his favourite day of the week is when he gets to visit Christine, Sam, and all his doggy pals! 😊 Thank you Castle Canine! Xx

I was looking for day care and boarding for my first dog, which would be home from home and couldn’t recommend Castle Canine enough! The first time I went on holiday and left him in their care, I was sent regular updates and pictures and he had so much fun, I’m not sure if he wanted to come back home! They have been an important part of his development and is treated as one of the family!

Absolutely fantastic place to send your dog. Christine and Samantha are lovely, caring, and trustworthy. My older dog is settled and happy there, would not want to send her anywhere else!!

My boy absolutely loves coming here, all but pushes the gate down in the morning at drop off! Always know he’s been well looked after and cared for just like he’s at home :) always flexible when they can be with times and just lovely people, can’t recommend enough! Xx

Really happy with the care my best friend Ricky 🐶 received this Thursday. Both ladies were professional and helpful . Ricky slept the whole journey home after having been well socialised and had lots of play . Would give 6 ✨ if we could . …

My Hamster Gus Gus was regularly handled and such well cared for will definitely use Charlotte again whenever we go away! We were consistently updated with pictures, so happy with her services!

Charlotte is amazing at looking after our little piggies, we've never had to worry about them whilst they've been in her care. We've used Charlotte's services a few times now and can't fault her. We love getting regular updates and pictures of our piggies and will continue to use Pippin Pet Boarding for the foreseeable future.

Our rabbit, Puddles, has stayed with Charlotte three times. She is always very well cared for and we receive regular updates. We are always very happy with Pippin holidays. Charlotte clearly loves animals.

My bunnies Nibbles and Isabelle have stayed at Pippin many times, most recently in the new luxury lodge which is a whole summer house and garden for them to roam freely. But it is the care and love that they receive from Charlotte who apart from being highly experienced in small pet care obviously adores animals which makes it more than just a business. I wouldn’t send my beloved rabbits anywhere else. Prices are more than fair for the level of service and you will get regular lovely photos and updates. Highly recommended in every way.

I would highly recommend Pippin Pet Boarding. Charlotte has been looking after our hamsters for the past few years now and we have always received an excellent service. Charlotte is really friendly and from the first visit we knew our hamster would be in safe hands. Charlotte always sends us photo updates throughout their stay so we can see how they are getting on which is great!

My two little Russian Dwarf hamsters, Pudding and Crumpet, have just spent 10 days with Charlotte at Pippin Pet Boarding and they had an absolutely amazing time ! They were looked after with the utmost care and attention . I received regular updates and some really cute pictures of my two girls which was sooo nice and comforting as I missed them a lot ! Charlotte was very friendly and professional , and was sooo considerate and flexible when arranging drop off and pick up times ! I highly recommend Pippin Pet Boarding for all your small animals, an all round FANTASTIC service :) :) :)

Charlotte looked after my canary "Biscuit" for two weeks and he was very happy and healthy when I returned to collect him. I was given regular updates about him throughout my holiday, including lovely photos of him free-flying around safely. Reasonably priced and reliable! Will definitely use again!!!

Milo, our hamster had a great stay, we loved our mid week update and photos. Highly recommended pet care service ! Thank You ! Summer holiday booking on its way 😁

Charlotte is always happy to look after our old bunny 🐰 and sends pictures to show how he is doing. …

Pipping Barding is just first class accommodation for small animals 🥇Charlotte is very dedicated and cares for her charges with 100% dedication my two girlie guineas Wendy & Daphne have been twice for two pretty long stays I have no hesitation at leaving them .The updates while you are away are fabulous we all know small animals can suddenly go downhill it’s something we always discuss but thankfully it’s never happened .Makes going away on holiday so much easier !

Very disappointed with the service offered by Dawn. I had to alter a drop off time with her at the last minute by half an hour and she was very abusive to me and the dog when I tried to drop him off, shouting at me, snatching my dog off me and the food bag. I had used her before , the first time being she went out and left her son who I had never met to receive my dog! I asked for my money back of £40 and she has refused. I will not be using her again

Dawn is amazing with dogs and treats them as family. She's pretty good with their humans too 😀 …

One of the nicest couples I have ever met, Dawn loves every dog that enters her home.

I have nothing but praise for Moorland View boarding kennels. My dog has now stayed with them twice now and they have looked after him exceptionally well on each occasion. You can tell they really care for the dogs which is lovely and piece of mind for myself when away. Claire even gave me a update on how Rubble was which was really appreciated. Rubble will definitely be staying again. 😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our deaf dog Milo recently spent three nights here. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the kennels and the fact that there was a lovely grassy pen for Milo to run around in. Very pleasant owner who obviously loves dogs. We will definitely use these kennels again and will recommend to others.

Dave had never been in kennels and I was very nervous about leaving him. I needn't have been. Claire is great, very thorough when booking/ checking in and she strikes me as someone who would be very calm in a crisis. Most importantly, Dave was absolutely fine, not in the least bit stressed and full of beans.

My dogs are always happy to go and they are very well cared for. We have used Moorland View Boarding Kennels for years and they always bend over backwards to accommodate us. Highly recommended.

Great place to leave the dogs as we can't take them with us. Pippa gets too stressed around children.

Lovely place to board your dogs...The owner is lovely and takes great care of your pets.

Excellent value for money. Dogs love it there. They even washed the beds we took.

Warm friendly welcome every time and my dog loves it.

Good kennels. Dogs always well looked after.
