Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication. She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs. While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order. A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home She is a very caring and nurturing individual.
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

It's my 3rd time using Sandy paws and love how good they are with all the dogs. They are very friendly and welcoming. My dog loves staying. I also love that they put up videos of the dogs as it's a comfort to see your dog settled and running around happy 😊. Highly recommend. …
My dogs came home happy and content after their holiday. One of them found her first experience of kennels rather stressful, and was particularly well looked after. I am most impressed by the excellent service.
Roux and Baxter love their weekly daycare trips to Sandy paws on a Tuesday and It’s lovely to know that when we go on holiday our dogs are looked after so well when they are in for boarding. Wouldn’t send our dogs anywhere else. X
Hector loves his time at sandy paws and he is always so excited to see Irene and Jonny. It's so reassuring to have somewhere to leave him when we are away where he is looked after so well and where he is happy.
Once again Meg stayed at Sandy Paws, impeccable service as always, Meg is always well looked after, thank you Jonny & Irene
Our dogs just love going to Sandy paws and we are so happy they are relaxed and very well cared for during their stay.
Johnny and Dougie alway happy to go to sandy paws great service and competitive priced 🐶 …
Great service, pick up & drop back home again after a day running about a massive field with all his pals living their best dog life. Highly recommended.
Ruby and Annie love there doggy daycare days cannot praise and thank you enough Jonny and Irene you just love and care for doggies much appreciated
Daisy absolutely loves Irene & Johnny with being a rescue she just needs that extra bit of love & care which she always gets at Sandy Paws.
Fiona has been walking our terrier for 3 years now and we could not be been more pleased with her. She always brings back our wee guy happy and ready for a snooze. She has always been so helpful if we are stuck and need an extra walk as well. She is so accommodating and would hugely recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything Fiona!
I can't recommend Fiona highly enough: she is a totally reliable professional who has a love of dogs at the heart of everything she does. Fiona has walked my little dog for the past 4 years and has done a wonderful job making Hattie more confident around other dogs. Hattie gets so excited about going for her walks with Fiona. This is no mean feat as Hattie is rather fussy about the people she trusts! Fiona keeps me updated about how the walks have gone, shares super action shots of Hattie having fun and raises concerns if she spots something isn't quite right. I trust Fiona with my special pooch and have no reservations in recommending her dog walking services.
Fiona has been walking my springer spaniel Loki for nearly 8 years. He adores her and his walks with her and she is incredibly flexible and reliable. He always comes back tired and ready for a snooze.
Fiona is a fabulous dog walker and completely trustworthy and reliable. She walked my GSD before she moved area to Dunbar and he especially loved his beach walks. As an added bonus Fiona is also a dog trainer and my younger dog has been through her puppy, intermediate and advanced classes and had great fun.
Fiona has walked my high maintenace German Shepherd Ellie for me on several occasions. She is brilliant and Ellie loves her! There are not many that would cope with my crazy dog but Fiona does with ease. Highly recommend Paw Tracks
I googled 'dog walkers' where I lived and Fiona came up. I read the reviews, just like you are now, and I gave her a call. She came to my house, met me and my best mate, Buddy, and that was that. She is extremely good at what she does, but she's also a lovely person, trustworthy, empathetic, goes the extra mile and then more.
Our Bichon, Archie, went for his summer holidays with Lynne where she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and looked after. We got daily updates and pictures of what he had been up to, he was really happy and relaxed with new doggie friends. He loved his home from home. He normally goes to family when we are on holiday but we were all away at the same time. I would not hesitate to use Lazy Bones in future, Lynne took Archie at a few weeks notice over the peak July holidays and did her best to make sure she could look after him for the days we needed. Lynne was fantastic and really cares for the dogs in her care. Archie is rather highly strung and barks at everything but he has been a lot calmer since his return - I am not sure what you did but thank you Lynne!
Lynne is absolutely fantastic, Chester is not the most sociable dachshund but Lynne works her magic and he always comes back better behaved!! Lynne has a real passion and care for every dog in her care.We always leave happy knowing that Chester is in great hands. Highly recommend 👍 …
Lynne was very kind to accomodate our greyhound Piper at very short notice and he's had many subsequent visits to her since. She does a phenomenal job and he's always so happy to be there. Lynne herself owns a couple of greyhounds which is fantastic for greyhounds who are maybe not so comfortable around other dogs.
Lynne is amazing! She looks after my dog Odin so well, he is always happy to go to Lynnes. Highly recommend.
Our dog Oscar has been staying with Lynne regularly for nearly 4 years (mostly daytime but with some overnights), and he loves it there. He is treated like one of the family and gets to play with his doggy pals. Lynne has always been accommodating of his and our needs, even if plans need to change at short notice. We couldn't ask for a better daycare and dog hotel,, and Lynne is a lovely person who cares a lot about her guests.
We were travelling through to Seton Sands for a weekend and contacted Lynne at very short notice to look after our dog for a few hours whilst we took the kids into the city for a day. Lynne was very accommodating and helpful. Her collection and pick up hours were flexible and allowed us to enjoy a family weekend away and still be able to take the dog with us. Highly recommend lazy bones dogs. Thanks again Lynn.
Went up with Maggie our bulldog to see Lynne to see if she could stay there in September when we go on holiday what a warm welcome and the house is doggiefied beds TV on for them back garden full and I mean full of different types of toys and a doggie sand pit.i knew from Maggie's behaviour she liked Lyynne and will be happy to stay with her.you couldn't meet a nicer person and her own dogs are lovely very chilled out.if your thinking of going on holiday please phone lynne your prince or princess will be in safe hands ali Wilson 🐶
Lynn is amazing and I would not want my dog staying anywhere else. I know when we need to go away that he is well looked after and she loves him. Definitely 5-star
My Cody boy was there for the first time, he loved it. Lynne was great with him and it was fab seeing pics of him on her fb page too! Would definitely recommend her.
Have taken my dog here since he was a pup and he loves it always sent photos and updates to let you know how he's getting on ! Best dog care in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Absolutely fantastic experience leaving our dog with Lena. She calmed him down and figured out ways to keep him happy and safe, as he is a very anxious little dog when first time with new sitters. We couldn't with for a better experience. Lena also kept us updated through the day, adjusted to our crazy timeline between meetings and work. Absolutely great. No words, just everything is perfect!
Our dog had a wonderful 2 night, weekend stay with Lena. He can be a bit anxious but Lena took all our notes thoughtfully and created a relaxing environment for our Bedlington whippet. I think they had a great time together! Wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with her again. Highly recommend :)
Lena took great care if our 11 month old pup. It was our first time leaving her and we were worried about how she'd find it but Lena did an amazing job. She shows real compassion for the dog and the family, sending many updates with thoughtful messages. We would have no hesitation recommending Lena and would definitely book her again.
We’re absolutely delighted with the care that Lena gave to our 15 month old pup, Pascal and our cat, Midnight while staying with them in our house this past weekend. We were nervous about leaving them, especially Pascal as he can be quite anxious when we’re not around and he’s still young pup in training! We approached Lena due to her experience with anxious pups and her excellent reviews. It was absolutely the best decision! She really took her time to get to know us and Pascal. She asked us lots of questions about his routine and about his experience with a different sitter which hadn’t gone so well and we discussed what would help make this a really good sit. We booked a meet and great and a walk the week prior to us going so Pascal and Lena could get to know each other, so she could see how he was on the lead (we’d just introduced knew training techniques that we were keen were continued) and so we could show Lena round the house. When we left on Friday we were so confident that Pascal and Midnight were in the best hands. Lena sent us really thoughtful updates throughout the weekend which was so reassuring and we were really able to relax and have a great time away. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house - we couldn’t be happier! We won’t hesitate to book Lena again and fully recommend her!
Lena has watched our two little dogs many times now for a few days at a time up to a week. She has stayed at our flat a few times while watching them and is a very thoughtful house guest. Each time she takes such great care of them and sends us lots of videos and pictures (which we love!) and takes them on long walks (which they love!). We can tell she adores them and treats them so well, which is important for us while we’re away from them. I definitely recommend trusting Lena with your little one(s)!
Bandit’s first day with Lena went really well. She got him settled - chilled out, in fact - quickly. She sent lots of photos and videos to reassure me he was happy and having a good day. I’m sure Bandit will be back, Lena!
July 2024 Our Shih Tzus returned to Lena’s care this time for a 16 night stay in her home. The dogs were happy to return, greeting Lena enthusiastically! They quickly settled in while Lena took time to discuss any of their needs which may have changed since their last visit. Lena kept me updated daily with photos, videos and voice messages regarding their daily adventures. Their walks were varied and they clearly enjoyed spending time with Lena whether out and about or relaxing at home. Once again Lena went above and beyond, ensuring our dogs wellbeing and safety were taken care of. She has a real understanding of their personalities and needs. It will come as no surprise, that I would highly recommend Lena and that our dogs will return to her care again in the future.
Our Brucey had an amazing time with Lena as always, whilst we were getting married. He even got us a card 😊😊😊 Lena is the only person we are comfortable leaving little B with as he has massive separation anxiety and attention demands. Thank you again. …
Our two little Dachshunds loved being looked after by Lena in our home. Lena gave the dogs super walks and lots of attention, sharing this on videos to us every day, so we could see how content they were. Lena left our house very neat and tidy for our return and did every thing she could for us throughout her stay. Happy to recommend Lena to others. 😊
Lena walked our dog Monty over Easter. We found her very reliable, super careful and heaped lots of hugs, strokes and chats to make him feel well cared for. Plus videos of their walks. AThank you Lena. Will book you in next time we are away!!
We used these kennels for our Frenchie when we went on holiday in April. We didn’t know what to expect as we’ve never used kennels before for any of our dogs. However, Susan was great…. She showed us around prior to him going in and on our return he appeared happy to see us with no issues. We have already booked him in for another 2 upcoming holidays. 😊
Used these kennels not knowing what to expect as we don't live in the area but found them to be very friendly and understanding. I've not left Thyra our beagle more than one night before so was a bit worried but I needn't have been. She seemed to be happy when we collected her 3 days later.
While I was moving my home back from Spain to the UK I had to find kennels for my two dogs, Pease Lye was my best decision of 2016. They could not have done any more for us and our dogs, we even got a regular updates and photos. First class service
I can’t recommend Pease Lye Boarding Kennels enough , lilah and tequila had the best wee holiday with susan and David it’s the first time they have been in kennels , Would highly recommend them couldn’t Thank them enough for looking after them so welL , I felt so much at ease with the picture and video updates and was able to relax knowing they were so loved and happy on there week long holiday,
Have used these kennels for past 10 years always very helpful and friendly service. Happy to recommend to friends and have done so. Wouldn't use anywhere else 🐕🐶🐕 …
My dogs are always well looked after and very happy to go. Would not have a problem recommending them to anybody.
Love this place, we have been going for years, Susan is so loving with our dogs and they love going there, its trying to get them to leave to come home that's the hard part 😊 …
Fantastic place
Good
From the moment our dachshund Frank stepped into 'In the Doghouse' home boarding, it was clear he was in for a treat. Jen and her team introduced him to Lilly, Baxter, Penny, and Paolo during the meet and greet, making him feel right at home among his furry friends. Every day, Frank relished lengthy beach walks with the gang, soaking in the joy of the outdoors. Jen's personalised care made us feel like Frank was part of their family, we highly recommend this home boarding experience to anyone seeking a warm, loving environment for their beloved pets.
As our dogs are not just pets they are family, it is very hard to find people who we can fully entrust and have peace of mind whist we leave them. We can not fault Jenni and her care, we have 3 large breed dogs one of which has nervous aggressive issues, so obviously we wouldn't dream of leaving him in a home boarding situation, clearly this is setting him up for failure and putting other dogs at risk. However our other 2 love Jenni and family and we don't give a second thought to leaving them. I am highly picky as where I leave my babies and cannot recommend this place enough, not only do I fully trust the care and love they receive I also trust their choice of client therefore I'm assured my pets will be safe and happy. Well done guys great to see people doing a job for the love of animals and putting their needs 1st 👍
Absolutely Amazing home from home boarding for dogs. Jenni and her family welcomed Hunter into their home with lots of love & affection. Lots of updates on all the fun Hunter was having with the other dogs and when Hunter was unwell they were totally exceptional in the love and care they gave her until we returned from holiday. I highly recommend using In The Dog House.... ⭐️Thanks Jenni !
Since moving 2 years ago we have used In the Dog House regularly for our miniature schnauzer Bruno. To say he adores going is an understatement as he impatiently scratches at their door to get in or by their gate even if he’s not going when out on a walk. I absolutely love that I can see how happy he is and know that Jenni, Gordon and Georgia treat him just as if he is theirs when they are looking after them. Best dog sitters we have used by far!!
With 2 large bouncy dogs I’m extremely cautious about leaving them with anyone, and both being rescues they have their “quirks”... Jenni took the time to meet us all beforehand, and took in all my rabbling and concerns, and made me feel much more relaxed about them staying. From the minute they got to “in the dog house” I could see they were given the care and attention as if they were Jenni & Gordon’s own. The regular photos and updates on social media further confirmed it! Kael & Finn had an absolute blast, and were spoiled rotten with love and exciting walks. Wonderful people, offering nothing less than a 5 star service. Cannot recommend enough.
Jenni and Gordon and their daughter Georgia are the best there is. Millie loves going there and it really is home from home. I just wouldn’t go anywhere else. Every time we pass the house Millie keeps trying to get back in. Every time she sees them she practically wets herself with excitement. I love that we have somewhere for Millie to go where she is loved, is safe and is happy.
Cannot fault the service provided by In The Dog House. The owners are lovely and want your dog to be as happy with them as they are in their homes. Dogs get fantastic walks and fun (woods, rivers, the park) and I love that all dogs that stay are vetted beforehand to make sure they are friendly, will fit in with 'the pack' and not cause anyone's dog anxiety. My dog loves staying 'ITDH' and it show by his waggy tail. I also love that there is no limit to the number of cuddles he gets, he gets to sleep on the couch and we get photo updates while our dog stays with them. If I could give 10 stars I would!
2 nights cost me £270, my son had to collect the dog after 2 nights, no refunds. Ruby hated her stay there.
Attitude! Would NOT recommend.she says my dog is aggressive, she can't control her dogs, attacked a little dog in the village the other week.Did she apologize........ No.She also tried to kick my dog when he was a puppy.shouldnt be allowed to look after other people's dog's!!! I'll tell the truth unlike you Jenni the liar
Fabulous place to leave your beloved dog when away. They will be treated like one of the family. Excellent
Hazel looked after our Springer Spaniel Lacey while we were away on holiday. We were nervous to leave her behind as Lacey can get overwhelmed with new places and dogs but she fit right in. Hazel made sure to update us with lots of photos multiple times a day which made us feel right at ease - we could see how much Lacey enjoyed her holiday (especially stealing Fara’s bed)! We will definitely use Hazel again in the future.
Our 12 year old rescue dog, Brooke, spent a couple of nights here in August 2024 and loved her stay. We were a little worried beforehand as Brooke has only ever stayed with family but, honestly, we shouldn't have been at all concerned. Hazel views each dog's stay as their holiday and makes sure that they are integrated into the home, have plenty of walks and attention. We got lots of updates and photos to show that Brooke had settled and was enjoying her stay. Brooke is already booked in for a couple of additional dates following a successful stay :)
This is the second time Yogi has stayed with Hazel and family and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. I have always felt so comfortable leaving our dog Yogi with them and look forward to the daily updates and photos. You can see truly how happy yogi is when he is there. Your dog will be treated like family at the bed and bone dog home boarding and we love that. We are so grateful to have such wonderful people look after our fur baby while we are away.
Hazel looked after our dogs while we were attending a wedding and they couldn’t have been looked after any better! She sent me loads of photos and pupdates over the weekend and I could see they were happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend using this business as your dogs will be in safe hands. Thank you again Hazel and family 🥰
Rocco and Freya, both Spaniels, had a fantastic time on holiday with Hazel, Malcolm and family. The whole experience went very smoothly from the initial meet and great, trial sleepover and holiday time. I could tell from the initial meeting that Hazel and Malcolm both love dogs and made such a fuss (and friends) with them very quickly. Hazel was great at keeping me up to date with all their adventures on their walks and chilling at their house on the couch! Really a home from home experience! They had a fab time and got on so well with their dog, Fara. I would fully recommend Hazel - 100% and Rocco and Freya are so looking forward to their next holiday. Thank you both so much, it allowed me to relax and enjoy my holiday!
We boarded our two golden retrievers in September and could not recommend highly enough ! Our dogs were loved and cared and it was a joy to be away knowing they were being so cared for. Hazel and Malc have such a well run professional caring business and I will be using their service again for sure
Phoebe came to stay with Hazel and family for 3 nights, it was her first time staying away without us so I was a bit nervous but was put at ease immediately, from the meet and greet beforehand, dropping her off and lots of lovely photos and updates over the time we were away! I will definitely use Bed and Bone again it’s so nice to know she is being well looked after in a lovely home environment, when we picked her up although she was very excited to see us it was also lovely to see her obvious affection for Hazel so a big thumbs up from Phoebe too.
We felt from the outset that Hazel and Malcolm would take great care of our dog - they were kind, caring and very conscientious, asking all the right questions and meeting her (and me!) before she went to board with them. Our dog is a bit of a velcro dog, and we certainly felt she was well looked after and loved during her stay. We got lots of photos which was really reassuring as Vesper looked like she was having a great time!
Highly recommend Bed and Bone Boarding. Hazel is lovely and took care of my dog like he was her own. Lots of walks, pictures and updates. I have already rebooked. My dog loved his stay ❤️
Heidi loves her time with this family. They treat my dog like she’s their own and Heidi never wants to leave. They take her great walks and I get so many fabulous updates which makes me feel confident that she’s in great hands. Heidi and I are so grateful for them and their excellent service.
Unfortunately, my dog was involved in an ‘incident’ while in their care. I spoke with bark n fly on the phone at 12pm 7th of March while at work and was told that a dog had ran over to mine and had bitten him on the ear (“nipped”) and there were some marks left underneath his front shoulder. We were told that he did not need picked up early and was fine after the incident as he was acting like himself. I was told it was up to owners if they wanted to opt for stitches on the ear or let it heal itself but to possibly get some antibiotics from the vet to avoid infection. I had booked my dog into the vet just to be sure. I was told the dogs had been separated and that the other owner would be told about the incident. I was also told that it would’ve been my dog that would get moved groups in future as he had been placed with the larger dogs. When I arrived to collect my dog, he came limping down the steps and I initially was looking for the cut on his ear when I noticed there was a major cut on his leg. After seeing my dog close up I could tell he would need stitches at the top of his leg and there would definitely be no ‘owner choice’ in regards to his wound. The worker told me he had been asleep for the last 2 hours which is very out of character for my young beagle and he has never done that while at day care before. I told the worker that he clearly needs stitches and they looked at his wound and addressed my dog and asked him if he had been “licking it while I wasn’t watching”. No amount of licking could have caused the open wound on his arm, I had no response to this and picked him up to go to the vets. I could see that my dog had been bitten multiple times and this was not a result of playing. I had to lift my dog to the car as he refused to walk any further and I left in tears. After taking my dog to the vet, they could see that he would need stitches and booked him in for the following morning. He had to be injected with antibiotics and painkillers, wound cleaned and given a cone to stop him making the cut worse. My insurance covered the £550 vet bills but I paid £160 excess for his injuries. In his procedure he had to get 3 different lots of stitches. After seeking a dog walker, they also had a look at the injuries and described it as he had clearly been mauled by the other dog. I was not told that the other dog who had done this would no longer be allowed to attend the daycare and I also feel upset that their owner will not know the extent of the incident and will not hear the final outcome. I had no confirmation about what had been said to the other owner. I wish that I had known the extent of his injury and I would have collected him straight away and taken him to the vet rather than him being hurt and left for 4 hours. Since then, Bark N Fly told me that they would pay me back the excess amount of £160 which took 2 months to receive back. I am only posting my experience now as although I stopped using their services I feel that other dogs owners should know about my dogs experience using Bark N Fly.
We've used Bark n Fly's services several times now and have been impressed each time. The gentleman that does the pick up is always kind and patient, and when we went to the place in person the staff were also helpful. We thought the facilities were impressive, too. Our dog (pictured in our local park) is very nervous of people but Bark n Fly assured us she'd be okay and have been most professional. I would absolutely recommend them if you need your dog cared for.
My pup Daisy loves the day care facilities at Bark n Fly. The pickup/drop off service is really handy. Daisy recently stayed for just under a week in the boarding services and had a great time, I appreciated the pictures of her playing and living her best life! Will definitely keep using Bark n Fly and highly recommend
This is the first time we have used kennels for our two dogs Winnie and Mylo, Dawn and her team were great and helped us get everything organised for their stay. Winnie is a typical outgoing wee white fluff ball but Mylo is quite a nervous dog but they were so good and caring with him and the genuine affection shown by Abby and the other staff helped him relax, come out of his shell and enjoy his stay. We will definitely use them again. Thanks Kevin & Lynne
This was our first time using the boarding service at Bark n Fly. When we picked our Westie Mara up after a wee, she tried to run back inside the building - so she must have absolutely loved it! Staff were friendly and gave some nice feedback on her stay. We will definitely use you again when we go away.
20 min waiting for someone at reception and nothing. Looks like I will lose my appointment at 10am due to not being able to leave my dogs for care. If you leave your dog here make sure you have enough, more than enough time. Looks like a nice place but no one at the front. Edited review - Don’t know how to reply to the “lies” I called - someone said would be there soon (disregarding the las two, dialled by mistake) so yes, there are calls. Be aware that someone answered so this is not a lie - perhaps you don’t know the call is registered on the callers phone. I was there at 9:22 with one of my dogs outside - took the picture because I knew this would be contested. So, yes, I did follow the instructions given in the door and yet nothing. Again, looks like a nice place but give yourself plenty, plenty of time and maybe someone will be at the reception.
Fantastic day care and boarding centre. Very friendly and helpful staff, and super convenient pick up / drop off service. When our dog was a puppy we really liked that we could get her acclimated to being away by starting with a half day at day care, progressing to a full day, and then to overnight stays. Our dog always loves her time there and comes home very sleepy from all the playing!
Chippy seemed very happy staying over!
The Bark n Fly is amazing! They’re services are great! They picked up and delivered our dogs and both drivers were friendly, helpful and so patient with Ruby and Leia! We also could follow them on Instagram and check how much fun the dogs had playing around! They arrived home very happy (and equally exhausted because of the great time they had). I have no words to express how grateful we are to have found such nice people to take care of them while we are away 💙
We have a very active 18 months old GSP, who has struggled with home boarding so decided to try Bark’n’Fly. The team were very knowledgeable and gave us great advice on how to help her adjust to staying overnight. Coco has now been going for 3 months and her separation anxiety is gone! She recognises the staff and can’t wait to play in the fields with all the other dogs. We love checking Instagram to see if we can see a picture of Coco having fun on their account! I recommend the team and the set up, especially if you have an active dog, it’s great for them to be able to play all day
Kevin is amazing with our two bunnies. Been taking them here the last few years. He is so caring and knows them so well, he gets to know their personalities and makes sure they get plenty excersise. Always really friendly! Would recommend to anyone without any hesitation.
What a lovely caring man Kevin is ,& what good care he took of my rabbit & all the other animals there. He really gets to know their personalities & works to make them feel relaxed. I will definitely use him in future & recommend him to anyone else.
My hens and duck boarded here. Kevin was extremely helpful, accommodating and put my mind at rest from the offset. When I met him I found somebody who truly cared about birds and was definitely going to look after them well. I had an update that they had settled in which is so reassuring. My girls came home looking fit, happy and healthy. This is true value for money in a caring and secure environment with somebody who went the extra mile to ensure my needs were met.
Always leave my Rabbit Bluey with The Fur and Feathers pet lodge. He's always well cared for which gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend!! Wonderful People.
I have used Fur and Feathers many times to look after my chickens when on holiday. The service is excellent and Kevin is always helpful and full of useful advice.
Always happy to leave my hens here when I'm away. I know they are safe and well looked after.
Lovely people home from home for animals. Our dog is well cared for and loves going. I would recommend this place.
Excellent place. They take great care of our bunnies.
I use them every time I go away and have been for years now. Highly recommended.
Friendly and really take care of your pet. Recommended.
Ruth at PetStay is an absolute legend. Every time I’ve needed to book our toller in she’s linked us up with a wonderful carer (same family every time luckily, our dog loves them). She also linked a family members dog up with a carer a week before our wedding when there were no other options which saved the day. Fab service and can’t praise enough 😊
Could not recommend Petstay or Ruth highly enough. Immediately felt at ease during our first meeting with Ruth and Ann & Les. It is very obvious they love dogs and Max could sense that too as was not bothered when we left him. Regularly updated with photos & videos of his adventures. Max had a ball. He can't wait for his next visit in a few weeks.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. Pet Stay said they could cover a weekend for me. Booked to meet a carer - I had to take a day annual leave because the carer’s availability was so limited. Pet Stay cancelled this at short notice. They then rebooked me with someone else. This was also then cancelled. Spent a month wasting time emailing back and forth in total. This seems like a really disorganised and unreliable company - I’d not trust them with my dog.
No pet sitter availability in EH5/6/7/8/9 Post codes.
Fantastic service, I will be using Petstay for my dogs whenever I’m out of town.
My dogs didn't even want to come home with me, highly recommend!
Excellent kennels in a perfect countryside location. We've used Lesleys kennels for 13yrs as do our own family now too & always come home to happy well exercised dogs🐾 …
Our dogs love here, Lesley love and attention is 2nd to none as for the kennels the are absolutely spectacular and the freedom the dogs have is incredible.
First time we've used Lesley although some of our neighbours have been regulars in the past. Only a weekend away but our dog has come back unfazed by the experience - can't ask for more.
Lindsay lovely and dog very well looked after
Absolutely fantastic boarding kennels Lesley is very committed to providing 5 star care in a fantastic location
