I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
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!
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!! We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!

We used Tracey for cat sitting when we were away for a weekend. Tracey was good at giving us updates on how everything was and asking what times would be suitable for the visit. We felt comfortable knowing our cat was being taken care of, and on the plus side, despite being a shy cat, he actually came out and even played with Tracey for a bit! Would definitely be using We Love Pets and Tracey again 😊
I have been using We Love Pets for over 2 years now. Tracey & team are fantastic and I have peace of mind for our cat every time we need to be away! Our cat is scared of strangers and Tracey patiently built trust with Aria always ensuring she feels safe and has someone to play with. They are professional, trustworthy and flexible! I cannot recommend them enough! :) Thank you so much!
Our dog has been walked by the team at We Love Pets for almost 4 years. Unfortunately, we are moving out of the area so will not be able to stay with them. They have been absolutely fantastic. Tracey is really quick to respond and meets pretty much every request we have had. We have had walks around Christmas, at weekends as well as our usual weekly walks. Our dog has always been well looked after and has enjoyed his walks with the team. Thanks so much!
We Love Pets have been helping with visits with my two since they were puppies. I cannot recommend Tracey and her team highly enough. Our dogs are so happy with the attention they receive on their daily visits and I am reassured by the reliability and friendliness of the team.
I have recently started using We Love Pets and already I can't thank Tracey enough for looking after my dog Bailey. She went out of her way to shuffle round her own schedule to accommodate walking Bailey - after meeting with Tracey and seeing how well Bailey took a liking to Tracey it really put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend We Love Pets, they are so reliable, flexible and friendly. Thank you so much x
Polo and I cannot recommend Tracey and her team enough. Not only is Tracey amazingly professional but a lovely person too. She's not only completely and utterly reliable for weekly walks she also goes out of her way to help at short notice. Her team are absolutely wonderful with Polo and he adores his best friend walkers. Tracey has also gone out of her way to find the perfect doggo walking buddy for Polo. I recommend Tracey to everyone as she treats Polo with such love and what more could you want from the person you entrust your dogs care with?!
I have used We Love Pets for nearly five years now and the team have really taken the stress away from me with managing pet care with a busy work schedule. Tracey and the team are professional, friendly and reliable and go above and beyond to help me out, even at the last minute. George my pug is always happy and calm when I return from work and he adores all of his walkers. I would recommend this service to anyone needing professional pet care and particularly for the personable and warm approach from the team. Thank you so much!
Tracey looked after my two cats while away on holiday. She popped by beforehand to meet the cats & get oriented with their routine (feeding, letting outside, etc.). She sent us pictures & updates while I was away. I highly recommend Tracey as she provided wonderful service, great communication, and not to mention very reasonable pricing.
Tracy has looked after our Sausage Dogs on a number of occasions and they both adore her. They are quite high maintenance and demanding, she is always patient and affectionate with them. She has also looked after our cats, gerbil and Guinea pigs. We trust her implicitly and wouldn't have anyone else caring for our pets. Highly recommended.
Tracey was a lifesaver! I couldn’t recommend her and the company enough. She looked after our two cats while we went on vacation for a week with such care. We had regular updates with pictures everyday and came home to happy cats. Will absolutely be using again for future trips. Thanks Tracey!
Kevin and Cristal are extremely likeable and recently looked after our 15 month old Labrador, Luna for a 4 night stay....Luna was extremely well looked after and obviously enjoyed her time with them...would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trusting dog carer
Kevin and Cristal are great. Really knowledgeable and lovely - super accommodating. I picked up my two dogs from an overnight stay and they were very happy - they had been brilliantly taken care of and they clearly really like Cristal, Kevin and Buddy! Total peace of mind.
Kevin has looked after my girls for years, from young until now old. He is very easy to deal with and always reliable. Can definitely recommend Buddy’s Pet Care
My regular dog sitter was fully booked, so needless to say I was quite nervous about finding a new sitter for my furry baby while we were supposed to go on vacation. After intensive search for a new host, I got in touch with Kevin & Crystal from Buddy's Pet Care. Chester usually barks at strangers, needs a bit of time to warm up to people. As soon as we got at their place for a meet and greet, instead of barking he was all kisses and jumps of joy. I realized that Chester will be in good hands during his 3 weeks stay with them. During our vacation, I received updates with photos and comforting words to let me know that Chester was doing great. It was obvious that they care about dogs - loves and treats them as they are their own. Kevin and Crystal are beyond awesome. Thank you very much for putting me at ease and for taking such a good care of our boy. Highly recommended for all the pet parents. 5 Stars review, very well deserved. We have booked already Chester’s stay with them for our Christmas vacation.
Needed a dog sitter very quickly in the area and found Buddy's using google maps. Crystal had my Border Collie, Mya straight away for me, no questions. She's an absolute life saver. Thank you so much. Xx
When my parents were unexpectedly taken ill at very short notice, Kevin was able to collect my parent’s puppy and look after him for us, while they recovered. Initially this was to be for a long weekend, and they ended up having Toby for two weeks. Very reliable, and totally flexible, nothing was too much trouble for Kevin and Crystal. Toby has obviously been extremely well looked after, and has come home happy and well. We will definitely use their services again, and recommend to all our doggy friends.
Our dogs love it. They are well cared for and happy to go each time! They also offer boarding if you need it. We left our dogs for a week while we were away on a trip that wasn't dog friendly. They were happy and healthy and while pleased to see us visible happy to be at buddy's.
Jan 2023: Our dog has just spent the last 2.5 years with Buddy, Kevin and Cristal. Our dog would bound out the front door, so excited to see them - they've been a huge part of his development. Kevin and Cristal treated our dog like their own and gave us advice when we asked for it. Freddie spent many nights and a few weeks whilst we went away, without a single issue. So sad we have now moved away from the area, but hoping our dog gets his holidays at Buddy's still. Thank you Kevin and Cristal, you're amazing! Nov 2020: Our dog absolutely loves his days with Buddy and the other pooches. We haven't used Buddy's for any overnights yet, just daycare - but we won't hesitate too.
Kevin has looked after our outdoor rabbit on several occasions and he is always reliable, trustworthy, does an excellent job and often goes above and beyond. When it was very hot he put ice bottles out for the bunny to cool down against! We will continue to be using him and thoroughly recommend his services for any pets.
We used Kevin from Buddy's Pet Care to pop in & look after our cat whilst we were away on holiday and we couldn't be happier with the service! Very personable service from start to finish, with everything thought out and more - nothing was too much trouble & our cat well looked after & more importantly happy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use the service again in the future.
Treacle is a regular Rags & Bert’s attendee. He was struggling with being left home alone having lost his companion Yorkie & was slightly reactive having been attacked by an XL bully. He’s now been with Rag & Bert’s every Friday for months and loves it! He’s like a new dog. Despite being an older boy, he’s made so many friends and I am told has the energy of the puppies - running about ! A proper ladies dog too. Many dog places said no to Treacle as he’s not had the snip (cannot undergo general anaesthetic with a heart murmur). But Rags & Berts were happy to have him. Thank you to Sarah and everyone at Rags & Bert’s, couldn’t be more reassured when I leave him in your trusted hands (he runs in and doesn’t look back to mum now 😂) and I love the photos uploaded daily so I can see he’s getting on OK from my office ! 😊🐶 Ellie, happy dog mum!

Latest review: Rag and Bert's recently upgraded their grooming services which I booked after a short doggy hotel stay. The Grooming Pod by Sophie is a new best in class grooming service and I couldn't have been happier with the service and treatment my dog received. Sophie has lots of experience, is super friendly and is a great addition to the Rag and Bert's team. I have always enjoyed the "postcards" from Rag and Bert's during hotel stays and to get these from Sophie for my groom was a pleasant surprise. My top tip is to add this service before picking up your dog from a doggy hotel stay - it is super convenient and the price is competitive for Reading. Thanks again! (updated photos from The Grooming Pod). Previous review 1 year ago: Huge, massive thank you to Sarah at Rags & Bert's for sorting out a last minute doggy hotel change for my dog due to a work trip change. Sarah was able to add in some extra dates and move things around to accommodate my changes without fuss and with a super friendly approach! A total weight off my mind knowing my dog is going to have a great time at Rags & Bert's, just like always, and I am able to attend my work trip fully focused knowing she is in great hands. 10/10, 5 start, gold standard service once again. Cannot recommend Sarah and Rags & Bert's highly enough! Thank you!
Our dog is always really well cared for, the staff are polite and accommodating and I love getting the email updates while she's there! She's usually quite a shy dog who doesn't like new places but she's always happy to spend time here!
Great place friendly staff our little Blu loves it every time we take him we feel he’s very safe and in good hands A*
Sarah and every team member we've met have been so helpful. You can see from a mile away how much they love our pets, always calling him by name and seeing how quickly he's grown. I've never been more confident of leaving our little fur baby in someone else's hands. Thank you to the whole team!
Excellent doggie hotel. From meeting the owner to placing my dog into their care, it's nothing short of excellent. Bailey gets doggy daycare as well as a overnight stay and the key thing is I know he is safe and having fun while I'm away on holiday.I have recommended them to my other friends with doggies...can't say I've done that with any other dog hotels/kennels in the past!! The staff are lovely and Sarah who does the bookings is always helpful and kind. Oh and Sophie the groomer cuts his hair....so what's not to like!!
Have previously left a review for Rags & Bert’s as my girl goes twice a week to socialise and have great fun and as I said previously I cannot praise the staff and facilities highly enough. Now they have opened the Grooming Pod I wanted to recommend Sophie, as a groomer she is excellent (and very nice to talk to). My GSD looked and smelled lovely after her visit to Sophie. We have had a bad experience with a groomer in the past so it’s wonderful to have someone who really knows what they’re doing.
It is a fabulous place, and my spatial dog loves it, the being I’ve dropped him off for three days. He always looking forward to going in, in the morning, and I collect him in the evening after I work. He crashes out exhausted as it seems he enjoys being there. I would recommend going back there again, and I’m giving this a full five stars
Daisy has been attending Rags and Berts for a couple of years so the staff know her well. I’m informed she’s well behaved at the setting but on the lead with me she’s been showing signs of anxiety. Dave at Rags & Berts has been helping me with tips on how to reduce her anxiety (and therefore mine) when we’re out and about. Dave encourages positive rewards and staying calm with our fur babies. He supports the adult by asking the right questions, making suggestions and encouraging you to keep making those little changes which are greatly improving our walks together.
Brought both my dogs here for a groom, they were able to do them both at the same time which is great! They’ve come out looking beautiful and smelling divine! Such friendly, dog orientated staff couldn’t be more pleased!
We have been using Greta's home pet service for over 12 years now (!) It's so reassuring to go away on holiday and know our cats will be happy and cared for. They are not keen on visitors but always give Greta a warm welcome when she arrives, both clearly a good judge of character!
Greta has walked my dog for nearly 3 years now and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is so reliable, friendly and really does treat Otto like he’s her own. Rain or shine she’s out there with the pups. If you’re worried about leaving your dog all day when you’re out at work, never fear, they’ll be asleep all day! We truly don’t know what we’d do without her!
Greta has been walking our dog Filbert for over 5 years now and I couldn’t recommend her services more. He loves going out with her and the other dogs at lunchtime. It’s great for his socialisation and it’s lovely to see the videos and pictures she post on her Facebook page of them all having a good time. Feels very reassuring to have her looking after him. Greta has also shown flexibility when our schedule has changed or we need support last minute. Highly recommend.
Greta started out doing home visits for our border terrier puppy Gremlin when we got her in July, and then when Grem was big enough taking her out on twice weekly group walks while we are at work. Greta has been fab from the start - professional, reliable and reasonably priced, and Grem always has the best time socialising with other dogs out on walks. We can't recommend Greta enough!
We can't speak highly enough of service provided by 'My Paws' and would highly recommend to anyone considering leaving a cat or dog at home whilst you're away. We have used Greta Hughes’ cat sitting service ‘Paws’ for the past 8 years, and each year around 3 or 4 times. We have two cats that are generally very nervous but they still find Greta approachable. Greta has never let us down and is extremely reliable and trustworthy. For example she has not made any mistakes with bookings and has always turned up when she said she would. We have a strong sense that Greta is most caring towards our cats and gives them the up-most attention during her visits. We know only Greta will visit (and not a delegated person) and we know her stay will be enjoyed by our cats (and not just a flying visit to ‘tick the box’). Greta’s experience whilst working in a veterinary practice has proved very valuable to us; for example when one of our cats had a bladder infection Greta continued to give the oral medicine to her (tablet and a liquid on her food) without any issues. Greta also identified a health issue with one of our cats and on her own initiative she contacted both the vets and us to let us know what the problems were and to check on how to proceed. Using Greta’s cat sitting service is not only great for the cats, as they stay in their own environment, but we also have someone coming in and out of the house whilst we’re away. Once, when we had a security alarm issue and Greta used her initiative and identified the most appropriate resolution. This also involved speaking with neighbours about the problems and checking the house hadn’t been broken into. Greta also kept us informed on what was going on.
We would highly recommend Greta's home pet visit service. We have used this service twice now. The cats are always relaxed when we return, probably because Greta takes the time to play with them when she visits. We've been very pleased with the service and feel comfortable that someone is checking on them in our own home - plus it's a lot more convenient than taking them to a cattery.
Greta has looked after our "zoo" since 2008. As well as being completely trustworthy, and doing a fab job looking after our cats, rabbit and hamster over the years Greta is also a lovely, friendly person! The kitties especially love Greta and I have recommended her to friends as she's that reliable and really does go the extra mile to provide the care you want your animals to receive.
Greta has been walking our various dogs for years, hugely reliable and its obvious she genuinely cares for them! Couldn't recommend Greta highly enough, if you are in need of any of the services she offers you will be in good hands!!
Greta has walked our Dogue de Bordeaux daily since 2013. We needed someone we could trust as our dog is a very large breed and needs an experienced handler. We also have 5 indoor cats and we were worried that someone walking our dog each day might accidentally let them out. However we needn't have worried as Greta has been extremely reliable and very professional. Our dog really looks forward to Greta's visits, often sleeping by the front door until she arrives.
We highly recommend My Paws to anyone in need of a reliable, highly trustworthy and caring cat sitter. We've been using Greta for over a year now and feel very relaxed in the way she's been able to look after our cat when we're away. Thank you!
My dog, Frank, has been going to Elliot for daycare for well over a year now, first on an ad hoc basis and now regularly twice a week. He loved Elliot from the first meeting and absolutely adores him now. He can’t wait to get in the door when we drop him off! Elliot is calm, friendly but also very professional. I feel completely reassured that when I drop Frank off he will be safe and happy until I pick him up. Everyday, I get photo updates of Frank having fun with his friends in the secure woodland and in Elliot’s large garden. Elliot has also gone out of his way to accommodate our changing circumstances. I don’t know what Frank and I would do without Elliot!
Buddy always has a great time with Elliot and his doggy pals! He often stays overnight as well and it’s great to have somewhere we feel comfortable leaving him - and where we know he will be happy while we are away. Thanks Elliot!
Poppy has been looked after on Tuesdays in most weeks for the past few months. She loves Elliot who really cares for her; indeed, he appears to have a natural affinity for all the dogs in his care as they all respond so well to him.
Elliot has been great - punctual, reliable and good communication throughout. I’ve used both the dog walking and overnight/daycare; I’ve recommended it to friends already and happily would again. Although I’ve not asked for them, I’ve received regular updates about walks etc. with pics and it’s great to have that assurance that my dog is happy and getting exercise while I’m in the office or away!
Elliott recently watched my two Labradors for a week. My youngest one is only 19 weeks and he has been great with her. We got loads of photos throughout the week and I swear both dogs were smiling! We will definitely be using Caversham Canine Club for all our future doggy day care needs. Highly recommend!
Elliot is the perfect dog sitter. My dog lola loves him and enjoys all activities with him. She has made a few friends at the club and always ready to go to him. She boarded with him and she was very well cared for and happy 😊 …
REVIEW FROM: JOAN HARRIS I signed Jessie up for walks with Elliot and I’m soo glad I did. I call Elliot ‘the dog whisperer’ as he has a very strong connection with animals and Jessie absolutely loves him. She gets soo excited when she sees him and mopes when she can’t go for her Monday walks. I highly recommend Elliot as he is one of a kind.
We've left our energetic 1.5 year old labradoodle with Elliot twice so far and have been very pleased with the service. Fudge has come back super tired and spent all day snoozing after all the fun and new doggo friends he made. We also got lovely photo updates frequently. We were really pleased with the location itself and the large garden because Fudge needs a lot of room where he can run around freely and burn out all his pent up energy. Will be making the visits more regular :)
We're very happy to leave our energetic 1 year old adolescent dog with Elliot and know that he has a fun day of play and walks and some rest time when he's there! He runs into the house when we drop him off and we get regular photo updates throughout the day where we can see our dog is having a good time.
Elliot is just great. I have two dogs who have been going a few months now, they love going to see Elliot. He is kind, caring and calm, and adores the dogs 100% rating
Fantastic pet sitter. 2 cats and a hamster perfectly cared for. Our home is left neat and tidy and the hamster was cleaned out and well cared for. Reliable and caring. No job too small and is happy to just sit and show your pets some love :)
Use this business regularly, nice friendly and reliable service with very reasonable prices.
Thanks
Fantastic and caring service. They looked after our 3 guinea pigs for a week. Went above and beyond. Sent us pictures everyday. Honestly I think the piggies may have had a better holiday then us. Will definitely be using again. Cannot recommend them enough
Melissa is wonderful and I completely trust her to take care of our pets when we're away. I found Melissa online when we got our mini lop rabbits and I'm so pleased that I did. We opted to have her come to the house while we were away to avoid too much disruption as our rabbits are quire young. This also had the added benefit that it didnt look like we were away as Melissa brings in any post and will open and draw curtains for you if you would like. Melissa has a really calming presence and completely put me at ease. She has had rabbits in the past and I felt really comfortable asking her for advice and knowing that our rabbits would be well looked after. Melissa sends update photos as well so you know that your pets are safe and happy. I would definitely recommend her services if you are looking for someone to care for your pets while you're away.
I left my cat in the care of Melissa for two weeks while we were on holiday primarily because I didn’t want the cat to be lonely while we were away. Melissa was extremely diligent in looking after the cat catering to her needs by feeding her but also making sure the cat was happy and loved by spending some time with her every day. Melissa sent me regular updates to keep me informed about what was going on. She showed herself to be extremely reliable and trustworthy. I would definitely use her again. Very friendly and professional service
Melissa is just brilliant. I'm a first time owner to a Lab puppy and from the start she has always been so helpful. Made me feel at ease owning a dog and has also given me additional advice and info to care for my pup. My puppy rushes to the door in excitement when Melissa comes as she knows she is going to get spoilt and have loads of fun. Happy puppy, happy me!!! I can't recommend Melissa highly enough - She is so caring and trustworthy, I can't think of a better person to come into my home and look after my dog. Melissa is just the best.
Melissa is fantastic. We brought her our rats a few times (with the cage and all their stuff). We felt more comfortable if someone was around them rather than just visiting. Melissa took great care of our boys and shared regular updates to keep our minds at rest. The boys were always happy, clean abd well taken care of when we picked them up Now, Melissa will be visiting our cat at home - she was very flexible with arrangements, even though it was a last minute change for us. We trust her coming in and caring for our baby like noone else.
We have been looking for a solo dog walker for our 4 year old lab Bertie for a while now, I then found Melissa’s details. As soon as i met Melissa i knew she was perfect for Bertie, professional and friendly and you can see she has a great passion for animals! Melissa is very flexible and Bertie is always well walked and sleeps most of the afternoon once he is home. I highly recommend Melissa if you need a dog walker!
Melissa was amazing. I booked her last minute and of all the enquiries I had made she was one of three that quickly responded. My cat is a bit fussy with whom she will go to for cuddles and she loved Melissa. Melissa kept me updated whilst I was away which was great. I will definitely be using Melissa again and would not hesitate to recommend Melissa.
Alexandra at Woofs & Wags was amazing with our Sprocker, Snoopy, it was the first time we had left him with anyone other than family. She was very professional and sent lots of photos and videos throughout the week. Snoopy loved it, lots of great walks, other dogs to play with and lots of cuddles. Would recommend 100%.
Our dog loves staying with Lin and family. I have no hesitation with leaving him there, knowing he is well cared for and loved during his stay, even his cheekiness. Lin is really loving and provides and real home from home
Lin and team have been walking and boarding my black lab over the last 6 years and I cannot recommend them enough. They treat my dog like a member of their own family and my dog leaps out of the front door when Lin turns up to collect her. Lin is flexible in her approach and has helped me out countless times when I have been stuck due to work or travel commitments. An excellent dog service company!!
Dean has been very patient with Milo over these years.Our energetic pup always looks forward to his time with Dean. Lin is very accommodating and helpful, Milo is excited to stay over at Lin’s boarding this summer. Excellent service, excellent people!
Our 11 month old Welsh Terrier stayed with Lovin’ Paws for 9 days in January 2022. I have to say that Lin was fantastic with him and really looked after our boy and he had a real home from home experience. From adventure walks; to socialisation with other daycare and boarding pups and dogs to evening cuddles; Lin provided a fantastic service as well as keeping us updated with photos and chat on our pup. I would not hesitate to recommend Lovin’ Paws as a fantastic place for boarding and daycare.Our pup can’t wait to see Lin again soon. A massive thanks from Cooper the Welsh Terrier and his staff x
Our dog ted has been going To loving paws since he was 12 weeks old and now he’s 3.5 years old. He started walks with Lin and now also walks with her Son Dean. We also take advantage of the great dog boarding service too. Ted love going out with loving paws. Everyone is so kind, loving and caring. Ted always feels like one of the family! He has so much fun with his friends on his walks with so many different spots he’s taken too. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to put their pooches into safe hands! Ted sits and waits and looks for the van as soon as it turns up he is crying with excitement and can’t control his wagging tail!
I’ve been using Lin and Dean at loving Paws for over 3 years now. My dog Teddy couldn’t be happier when he hears the van pull up outside the front or we pull down the drive to Lins House, his tail tells us of his pure excitement! Lin and Dean are so dependable and passionate about what they do and I wouldn’t have Ted go out for walks and sleepovers with anyone else! Thank you for all you do! Amy xx
Snoop has stayed with Lin for a week and been for daycare / walks. He loves her very much and I feel so happy and confident that he’s safe and very well cared for. Lin kept me updated on what he was up to during the week too with photos and messages - which was lovely. I highly recommend!
Dottie our Irish terrier has been walking with dean for a few months. Dottie is always very excited when he turns up and waits at the door for him. Dean is very attentive and really cares for all the dogs he walks. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Lin is fantastic with our elderly dog Gracie. She is completely trustworthy and cares so much about her always messaging to make sure she is ok if she is at the vet and giving her lots of fuss whilst we are at work. Really means so much to know that our animals are well looked after when we are not there. Thank you! 💕🐶💕 …
Lin & Dean are amazing and have been incredibly flexible during these crazy times. We always know Ozzie is well looked after when out with them. Never seems to be to much bother to accommodate a last minute walk when our plans change. Thank you guys, have a great Christmas and New Year. See you soon, The Fishers 🎄 🎆 …
My Frenchie Tilly has spent the week at Charlie’s Place while I was on holiday. I was sent lovely photos which reassured me that she was having the best time. They also bathed her and cleaned her ears. I was so excited to collect her. She was very pleased to see me ( for 2 seconds) before trying to run back in! I have to accept that Tilly loves Charlie’s place more than me! 🤣 I would highly recommend Charlie’s Place to take very good care of your dogs. 💕
Used Charlie's Place for an afternoon and overnight stay as we were going away and couldn't bring our dog. Has a great setup and made us feel that we were leaving our dog in very safe and loving hands. We received an update on how she was getting on whilst we were away and was told what they got up to when we returned. Our little dog was absolutely knackered the following day so obviously had plenty of activity and play time whilst she was staying. Would recommend to others and would definitely use again if required.
Absolutely amazing. Our Dog Lola was quite anxious around other dogs after and we had struggled to get her re-socialise her after lock-down. Toni and the team were brilliant and slowly and methodically introduced Lola back into a pack. She now loves being in and around other dogs. As a hunting breed she also needs a lot of stimulation and the games, challenges and activities the team do with the dogs has her fully engaged. She always comes back to us chilled and happy. Thanks very much. Highly recommended.
We've recently moved to the area and I was delighted to find Charlie's Place. Toni, the owner, has been nothing but warm, welcoming and accommodating since we met - puppy had a trial day and came home after a fabulous day of playing, socialising and muddy walks. She was exhausted! Pups is booked in regularly from January as I know she will be well looked after and have a great time. Toni is a tremendous woman and what a legacy she is building for her little boy in whose name this wonderful endeavour is being carried out.
Our dog stayed at Charlie's dog place for the day during half term. They did an excellent job taking care of her, and she had the best day. The team is quick to reply to messages and booking was easy, on the day there was a warm welcome and we felt happy leaving our dog. We got an update during the day, and at pick up heard a little of what our dog had been up to. An excellent personal service from a team who are all dog lovers. We would highly recommend.
What can I say a lovely, calm and very clean place.Toni is amazing, Reggie loves going there xx
I needed someone to look after my dog and move him to England when I had already left. Annie did it all including getting a new pet passport. The dog arrived happy and healthy. Wonderful service.
It’s the perfect home dog boarding service. Exactly what I needed. They could not be more professional.
