Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Martin and Caitlin are the best house/pet sitters we've ever had. They came fully prepared (they had read through welcome packet thoroughly before they arrived), they sent the best texts and pics to reassure us all was well, and the house was immaculate when we got home. Best of all, they treated Winston like family and he clearly fell in love with them. They are considerate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. We absolutely would love to have them back (honestly, every time we go on a trip!). They are fantastic and we are truly grateful for the care and love they showed to both our dog and our home.
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
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.
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
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!
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!! Lisa
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

I have sent my puppy Buddy (almost 10 months) to Simon & Leah twice for home boarding & am really happy with the service they provide. My dog is a lab & at times can be hard work as he is still young and in training, Simon & Leah are great with him, follow his daily schedule best they can & know exactly how to cater for his needs. Their dog Koda is great with Buddy, they go on walks by the beach & he always comes home super sleepy after having so much fun. I feel really comfortable leaving him with them & will continue to use them going forward! Thank you
From the moment we met Simon and Leah we knew we were putting our puppy in safe hands. Betsy was a 6 month old Newfoundland with an abundance of energy like all puppies do. Simon and Leah’s calming dedicated nature immediately put our minds at rest. Betsy attends daily walks and once a week day care. Because of the lock down we were unable to socialise Betsy in the normal manner so her interaction with other dogs when with Simon and Leah has become invaluable and her confidence and recall have improved immensely. Betsy now waits by the door each morning ready for them to arrive. I feel blessed to have found Simon and Leah and I can’t thank them enough for the love and care they give Betsy every day.
They walked my dog he loved his walks with we love pets, there service and quality is fantastic timing excellent l would very highly recommend they are now doing house sitting ect l love the fact when you go to them you have peace of mind and can fell your animal will be safe in there hands and the staff are very kind and caring X
Simon and Leah are amazing. They came to visit us at home with our dog and took the time to get to know her needs and quirks. It was obvious they had a very calming effect on her and she took to them quickly. She has the best day when she goes to stay with them at doggy day care. So much so that I'm worried she won't want to come back one day. Highly recommend!
Great company to use. Very professional and really care about the animals and the service they offer. My dog is so excited every time staff walk him and I know he is in safe hands. Could not recommend highly enough. So happy I have found this company.
Simon and Leah are amazing! They are truly passionate about what they do and are so caring and so so helpful, often at short notice. They are super reliable and dependable and very professional. My Husksy absolutely loves them both and they are so kind to her.. she gets taken on some lovely walks and has been so calm and well behaved since they have been walking her. I would highly recommend them and would never have her walked or looked after by anyone else. A tip top service!! Thank you so much Simon and Leah for your kind care.
Simon, Leah and their team of fab dog walkers are simply brilliant! I can rest assured that my dog is safe and getting good exercise/socialisation. Good communication, value for money, trustworthy and reliable. I've relied on Simon and Leah for dog sitting too - a home from home for my dog. They've gone out of their way to help pick up and drop off, as a non-driver, and haven't ever charged extra for this! Lovely folks who really do love pets! :)
I didn't know Simon and Leah before they started boarding my dog for me. Simon and Leah are completely professional, before starting regular boarding for me, they met with me to discuss, what I needed when I needed it and discussed in detail about my dog and her needs. She always looks forward to seeing them! I do drive to Colchester for home boarding but I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my dog. Friendly, reliable and caring!
When I met Simon and Leah I knew they were the right people to trust with my doggo. For the last month Diego has had a 1 hour weekly morning walk with them. I pay 1 month up front and it's really reasonably priced. Diego is so excited to see Simon on a Wednesday morning and comes back a happy and well exercised boy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend We Love Pets to anyone! Thank you Leah and Simon!
We have been so so impressed with the level of service we have received for our two spaniels from We Love Pets Colchester. They are so flexible and our pups absolutely love their visits from Maria! The photos and videos always bring a smile to our face, and we would highly recommend to other pet owners. We now have two very happy pups whilst we’re out at work!
We used Hilltop for the first time this weekend for our two 10 month old very energetic pups. I am so impressed with the professionalism and kind care they gave to our pups. From the beginning they were absolutely brilliant. They listened to all my concerns with leaving my pups and discussed them when I dropped them off. Picking them up they both came out very happy and smelt lovely too, they had lovely walks and lots of cuddles from the staff 🥰. I would definitely recommend Hilltop and will absolutely be using them again. 5* doggy hotel. Thank you Hilltop Harley and Dave can’t wait to another stay
Second time using hilltop and wouldn't use anywhere else. Very friendly and my girlies seem to be very happy here. On pick up they come back healthy and well cared for and they even gave them both a wash and shampoo so they didn't come home smelling of kennels. One of my girls had an upset tummy the day before collecting they adapted her food to help settle it and told me about this for awareness. Womt put my girls anywhere else.
I have recently started buying my raw food from here. Sam and Simon are very knowledgeable and offered great advice about putting my Spaniel onto raw to try and stop his itchy skin. Would highly recommend.
My beautiful kitty boarded here, while we were away they sent photos. Spotlessly clean, very well organised and extremely friendly and helpful.
Our boy Reggie (GSD) loves his time at Hilltop. It quite often feels like he’s having his own holiday, when we have ours. Reggie can be a very nervous dog, more so around men, in his first stay, Hilltop accommodated that a girl needed to take him in. But later in the day, the owner Simon, went into Reggie’s kennel and took the time to let Reggie become comfortable with him, which meant so much to us. The girls love him and spoil him with kisses & cuddles which I love. Hilltop always do their best to accommodation bookings etc and we always grateful for that. We have tried lots of different kennels but always come back to Hilltop, even though it is a 4hr drive from our house since we moved. We trust them with our boy & they listen to our concerns or what we want such as feeding requirements, cuddles, pictures, and no shampoo washing etc and are more than happy to do so. Thank you Hilltop for looking after our boy! We also use Hilltop food 🦴🐾🐕🐶
My first choice to leave the dog when I have to go away. Friendly staff and my dog always comes back happy if rather horse and is eager to return when I drop her off again
We used Hilltop for the first time, our two dogs had never boarded previously and have been pampered over the years. The staff were just brilliant and knowledgeable, they treat your pets as if they are their own. They even shared some pics with us whilst we were away. Will definitely use the doggy Hotel when we next need too!
Our 2 rescue dogs have stayed at Hilltop Boarding Kennels, several times a year, for many years now. I wouldn't want to have to use anywhere else. They love the staff and never seem to care when we drop them off. Always walk off to the kennels without a backward glance. The staff are so friendly & take such good care of our 2 dogs. They always come home happy & clean, smelling like talcum powder 😊 Thank you for always taking care of our fur babies.
We’ve just recently used Hilltops for two family dogs but boarded separately. Both so well looked after! And both completely different personalities but catered for in every way. It was so nice they could still be socialised but not have to stay together.The update pictures made us feel so relieved and reassured they are having a fab time! Also bathing and washing bedding before collection was such a lovely touch! Staff are so friendly and care so much for all the dogs. Would use again and recommend to anyone!!
I have kenneled my 2 greys at Hilltop twice in the last 6months. The service is excellent friendly and professional. All the staff I've met have been lovely and helpful and clearly love the dogs in their care. I highly recommend Hilltop and the team. 5 Stars!
Best boarding kennels ever! Nothing but 5 stars for us! ⭐️ Barry and all the team go above and beyond, they’re all so caring and lovely. Our dog can be a little reactive. Barry handled him perfect and champ settled in straight away. I honestly can’t recommend them enough! Thank you so much for taking such good care of champ x
Another fun stay for Darcy and Lexi,my 2 labs !amazing kennels and lovely family who take great care of them,and nothing is to much trouble we highly recommend! Thank you
The best kennels in the area, our dog loves to spend time here and always gets plenty of exercise and attention from the staff. The security of the site is second to none so we always have peace of mind when we are away. We couldn’t recommend them enough!
Amazing holiday stays for my two dogs. The attention of care and warmth is so good. My dogs are always happy. No signs of stress, they eat well and love the field to run around in. Highly recommend.
This Boarding kennels is brilliant, I definitely would not want to take my pomeranian anywhere else. Nice family atmosphere, lovely people, being coming here for about 3 years now. We got our dog from a breeders just before the pandemic so we could not socialise her, which has made her scared of Adults and children that she doesn't know, and other dogs as well. They have been so good with her and try and understand and play with her, they just go that extra mile. So you will definitely be in good hands if you take your pet there.
We have been using this family run kennel for many years now, and could not be happier with the way our Labrador is cared for by this lovely family. He is so happy to see them when he gets there, and obviously has a wonderful time in one of the many runs they use to exercise and play with the dogs. I would not consider any other place to look after our pet.
The best Kennel in Essex without a doubt! Fantastic clean facilities, highly caring staff and overall excellent care of our dog. Our dog felt like he was on a holiday. Well exercised during his stay and we came back from holiday to one happy satisfied doggo!! Good parking facilities onsite too. We will continue to make all our advance bookings with Brightlingsea kennels in future!! Thank you for taking care of our pet with genuine love and affection.
First class service. Our dogs love. Brightlingsea kennels would recommend 100 % We won’t take our 3 dogs any where else
Lovely family run boarding kennels. My 2 dogs came back happy and healthy! Would highly recommend!
My dog has had excellent care and the team are very friendly, professional and caring. The exercise area is brilliant for my busy Brittany, and his breed needs were understood and met. I’m thrilled to have found such a good kennel.
Our Gilly absolutely loves her weekly walks with Laura's Paws! The loce and attention lavished on her is just wonderful - we really do feel that she's loved by Laura and Emma as if she were their own! The update photos are such an added bonus. Can't recommend these wonderful people enough!!!!
Exceptional service each and every visit, we have 4 cats and each one gets individual love, cuddles & attention. They always send amazing photos and updates after each visit too. I would not use anyone else to look after our gang, and I am sure they all look forward to seeing, Emma, Laura or Tasmin and getting all the fuss from them. Would highly recommend contacting them if you want your fur babies loved as much as you love them.
Im so pleased Laura was available to help with our 3 cats whilst we went on holiday. We got daily photos and updates and the cats seemed really happy with her company. The cats have supplements too which she added to their diet. Would definitely recommend!
A great service and our puppy Oscar absolutely loved the fuss he got! Will use this service again and again. Very friendly and efficient.
Emma and Tamsin did a wonderful job looking after our two cats while's we were on holiday. Always a worry leaving them, but from the looks of the video updates, twice daily, they had a lovely time!. Lots of fuss and playtime. Also added bonus the girls put my bins out ! Will definitely use again, excellent personal service
Laura's Paws looked after our house Cat Ella while we were away on holiday. Excellent service, she kept us up to date on how Ella was doing after visits, an sent pictures too. We could go away and know that Ella was being well looked after. Would highly recommend Laura's Paws to anyone!
Having booked a holiday it was a worry as to getting our 6 cats 2 guinea pigs and parrot looked after.. My friend gave me the contact details of Laura's Paws 🐾 they were outstanding.. Had daily updates with photos of our fur babies 2 visits a day.. All our cats are senior and one need medication.. Laura and Emma were absolutely fantastic and had lots of lovley chilled fur babies when we came home.. We have already booked with them again for later in the year..
I recently booked Laura to care for my dog and cat while I was away for 4 days. While I was away, she sent me pictures and gave regular updates. When we returned my anxious dog was relaxed and happy, as was my cat. I would 100% recommend Laura and would absolutely book her again when the need arises! Fantastic value for money.
We are so thrilled to have found Laura’s Paws and wouldn’t want to leave our dog with anyone else now! Our dog is the type to whine at the door to get back to his beloved home comforts after 3 days on a staycation, so to be able to go away and leave him where he’s happiest is a huge thing for us. We always get plenty of pupdates and are completely relaxed in the knowledge that he’s safe, very well looked after and happy. Not to mention that we always find the house exactly as we left it and they go above and beyond to make sure the little things are done (like the bins!) which is always v appreciated. We’ve used Laura’s Paws for holidays, hourly house calls if we have to be out for the day and walks and they’re always extremely reliable and communicative. Our dog absolutely loves the team and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Our cockerpoo absolutely loves Laura and gets so excited whenever she sees her. Laura is really professional, friendly and reliable and we've been really impressed with how important professional development is to her. She is always completing courses to keep up to date and further her knowledge about all sorts of things related to pet care. She is genuinely interested in learning and doesn't just complete courses for the certificate at the end. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thanks!
We send our Buddy every week and can't thank Chrissie and her team enough. Our Buddy has epilepsy and the daycare team look after him so well. We get photo and video updates throughout his day he has so much fun and has made so many doggy friends. Buddy is a changed dog from when he started taking to daycare he is a rescue dog and didn't have the best start in life and he was very anxious around other dogs and people. Now he is such a loving dog and enjoys being around other people and other dogs We know he enjoys daycare because when we say to him he is going to daycare he gets exited and waits by the door waiting to go he loves it so much.
I wanted to find a daycare for my rescue which didn’t involve any cages or kennels, for fear of undoing all the hard work we’ve made. Chrissie’s is absolutely superb! Chrissie herself is so friendly and helpful; she was more than happy to discuss my concerns with me and invited me to have a look around. Dogs are free to roam and have plenty of areas to relax in/on, it basically just feels like home away from home! Saul is so lovely and helpful! Mia never wants to go home when I come to pick her up! 🤣 I get photos and videos, and it’s clear to see she has a fantastic time every visit! 🥰 Couldn’t recommend more highly!
Chrissies Doggy Daycare offers an exceptional day care service with outstanding socialisation techniques with a home from home atmosphere. Our George simply loves it there and has made some great friends. We cannot praise Chrissy enough. Rest assured your dog will always be in safe hands at all times and may even learn some agility skills too. Great team, fabulous location with a pick and drop off service it truly has it all.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Chrissie’s doggy daycare more! We recently moved to the area & also had a baby needless to say this was a lot of change for our lovely Reggie! With all the upheaval Reggie had become a bit anxious with unfamiliar settings & people. I explained everything to Chrissie prior to his temperament test and it all went so smoothly. Chrissie, Saul & Ru are wonderful with Reggie and all the dogs! I was a little nervous for his first day but Chrissie sends regular photos and videos throughout the day & I could see he was having the time of his life! Reggie now attends fairly regularly & always comes home happy but shattered! Chrissie and Saul often collect and drop Reggie off as well, which is an amazing added service he gets so excited when he sees them it’s so sweet! This is an extra testament to how much he loves his time with them and how much care & effort they put into looking after the dogs. Reggie loves his days with them 100% recommend!
We recently had the pleasure of sending our two dogs, Magnus and Skye, to Chrissie's Doggy Daycare while we were on holiday in Clacton. We cannot express how thrilled we were with the outstanding care they received. From the moment we dropped off our beloved pets, we knew they were in good hands. The staff at Chrissie's Doggy Daycare were incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about their work. They took the time to understand our dogs' needs and preferences, ensuring they felt comfortable and at ease during their stay. Magnus and Skye came back to us each day completely exhausted but with very waggy tails. It was evident that they had a fantastic time at the daycare, engaging in various activities and having fun. We were pleasantly surprised when we received numerous pictures and videos from the daycare staff, capturing moments of our dogs swimming and enjoying themselves. These updates provided us with peace of mind and allowed us to share in the joy of their adventures. The level of attention and personalized care that Chrissie's Doggy Daycare offers is exceptional. They go above and beyond to create a stimulating and safe environment for the dogs in their care. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything necessary to ensure the dogs' comfort. We were so impressed with Chrissie's Doggy Daycare that we would happily book future holidays in Clacton solely for the opportunity to send our dogs there again. It is a testament to their dedication and expertise that we can trust them implicitly with our furry family members. If you are looking for a top-notch dog daycare in the area, we wholeheartedly recommend Chrissie's Doggy Daycare. They are an absolute gem, and we are grateful for the exceptional service they provided to Magnus and Skye. Thank you, Chrissie's Doggy Daycare, for making our dogs' experience truly unforgettable!
Chrissie's is the highlight of my dog's week! Since his first day, his social skills with other dogs improved; it's been invaluable having that exposure to other dogs in a safe, fun environment so he can learn the doggy ways! You can tell Chrissie and the team take the time to get to know the dogs well - understanding all the different needs, personalities and quirks. They share photos/videos so we get a little insight into his busy day. Even if it weren't due to work commitments, I'd still take him anyway just because he freaking loves it. If you're apprehensive about taking that leap for daycare, be assured, Chrissie's Doggy Daycare is 10/10.
Chrissie's Doggy Daycare is by far the best place for my Murphy. He absolutely loves going there. When I took him for his temperament test I knew from the start he would be well looked after. The team are amazing. You can tell they really enjoy what they do. Murphy is an energetic little dog, when he comes home in the evening he is absolutely shattered. I love receiving videos and photos of all the adventures they have. Whilst I work I know my furry friend is safe and sound and having the time of his life at this fabulous place.
We have been using Chrissie's doggy daycare for over a year now and can not thank them enough our reggie goes every week and he knows when it's a wednesday cause he's a nightmare in the morning until they pick him up they are so good with the dogs and it shines through just how much they love the dogs and what they do they always go that step beyond. Reggie comes home happy and knackered he has so much fun and if we should bump into them when we're he's goes crazy he's so happy to see them which says it all. If your thinking about daycare look no further I recommend 💯 per cent . I know he's safe and happy.
What an amazing place run by truly amazing people. The care and attention put in by Chrissie, Saul and Ru is second to none. My pup was always very well socialised but has learnt the social skills and manners to match by being with so many other dogs in a well supervised establishment. The team come up with imaginative and innovative ways to keep the dogs entertained and the little training tips they give are a godsend. They know all the traits of the dogs in their care and I honestly can't praise and thank them enough. Chrissies doggy daycare is so much more than a home from home . It's a fun packed day for all. My dog gets so excited when we set off to go there and comes back absolutely shattered. A big thank you from me and an even bigger one from Kevin.
I have been taking my dogs to Chrissie's doggy care for around a year now. I must admit, initially I was dubious because one of my dogs is extremely shy and generally won't play with another dog or allow someone else to give her a cuddle. 1 year later and the shy one has done brilliantly. She loves Soul and trusts him. She goes up to other dogs and is inquisitive and allows them to smell her. Teddy has loved it from day one and really has a great time.
Jen has been an absolute life saver. We've got two toy poodles, both nervous out in public & with new people. One of them is extremely reactive with everything outside, especially other dogs, it was unbearable to walk him because he would just constantly cause such a scene and humiliate me - even if the other dog was miles away. After just 4x 30min sessions with Jen, he's like a completely new dog & we don't even use treats anymore - just verbal commands. Our walks are now enjoyable and he is really listening both inside and outside the house. He can now walk past other dogs without a single growl and it absolutely amazes me every time because of how bad he was before. Both mine & the boys confidence on walks has grown MASSIVELY! We also had a BIG issue with the boys fighting each other. To the extent that they were both muzzled in the house or separated with baby gates constantly - our lives revolved around keeping them completely separate, we were pretty much at the end of our tether after going through it for over a year now. Myself and my partner both got hurt constantly trying to separate them & I was in tears most evenings. We had actually worked with behaviourists in the past but the only solutions we had been given were buzz collars (which we also had to use for walks with their reactivity), citronella sprays or muzzles etc and it never solved the issue. We honestly thought we might have to rehome one and I just couldn't bring myself to... so we just struggled for so long until we did some research and found Jen @ DoggybGood. After one assessment & observation she manage to fix our biggest issue without even having to have a training session with them! Now we don't use any muzzles or buzz collars or sprays etc & they're best friends. They now sleep together, play together & once or twice I've even caught the odd cuddle... which if you'd seen them before you'd never believe! It has literally changed our lives now and I can enjoy being a dog owner again because for the last year I physically couldn't imagine it - Highly Recommend!
We contacted Jen to help us with training our new puppy Teddie. After our first meeting it became apparent that Teddie and the whole family that required the training.! Immediately Teddie was captivated with Jen and he was very quick to learn. Jen asked us to describe the personalities of the family and was able to tell us why Teddie was a little aggressive to our oldest son (the quietest in the family). The training was broken down into bite size parts which allowed us to practice in between lessons. I am pleased to say after 4 weeks training we all passed with flying colours. We continue to practice on a daily basis and this has really made a difference. We will be booking on the advanced course very soon. Jen - you are a star, thank you for all of your help, we were getting very stressed before you trained us all but we are now having lots of fun with our new addition to the family. Highly recommended.
Bailey spent two days with Jen and had the best time! Lots of walks on the beach, met lots of doggy friends, I'm not sure he wanted to come back home 🤣. Jen also kindly sent lots of photos and videos during his stay. Thank you so much Jen, will definitely contact you again next time 😊 …
We have just had 4 sessions with Jen which have been transformational in our relationship with our dog. Jen encouraged the whole family to be involved which ensured we all (children too) learnt new ways to communicate and improve our dogs understanding and behaviour. Jen is very friendly and accommodating and ultimately has great knowledge which means she's great at what she does. Highly recommended! Luke and family
Would highly recommend Jen. Lovely friendly advice that has helped us work with our puppy in a more positive way. Jen is great fun and very inspiring. We have seen lots of changes in our dog and we have more confidence now knowing what we need to do to handle unwelcome behaviour. Jen goes through all the basics week by week but is always willing to take the time to answer questions and work with issues we are having.
Jen is a lifesaver. She has really helped us tremendously with our puppy, Lola, who is now well behaved and a pleasure to walk and play with. Jen adapted her training to meet our needs and gave us good practical advice based on her experience. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
I have a lovely Boston Terrier puppy called Coco. Coco's sister Winnie who lives with my sister was getting training from Doggybgood and was doing so well that I decided to get in on the action. Jen was great with Coco from the very start, Coco just loves Jen and responded so well to her request, following her lead better than we could have ever imagined. We now have a very well behaved puppy who is still learning more every day. It's created such a lovely bond between myself, partner and Coco. The homework was the best part as watching Coco grow was priceless. I would highly recommend Doggybgood, Jen really does dedicate all her time to knowing what is best for your dog and passes her expertise onto you with really clear training for both you an your puppy. I feel like I have been well educated over the 4 week puppy training course. Jen's doggy training toys are really great too, Coco loves her training mat. We all are looking forward to working with Jen @ doggybgood again.
Jen has been amazing over the last 4 week when it comes to train. She’s is professional and friendly so you know where you stand. Jen has help me and my partners understanding and bond with our dog become stronger. Training has become fun for both us and our dog. Slowly but surly we have noticed a difference in our dog’s behaviour we highly recommend Jen.
Jen looked after my old greyhound recently while we went on a short break. Jen is very friendly and personable, she has a real genuine love of dogs. We met up multiple times before he boarded with her so he could meet the other dogs she looks after. All the other dogs were friendly and she had done a lot of training with them herself. He had a trial night as well before his stay. During his stay I had lots of videos and photos of Turbo playing games, going for walks and chilling in the garden. I genuinely feel that he had a fab time and because he'd got to know them all, he wasn't anxious at all. I will definitely be using doggybgood again in the future.
Jen has done a wonderful job with Archie our Staffordshire bull terrier puppy- training him over the past few months. We went for an 8 week package and he has benefited from it enormously. Jen is a great trainer, friendly with lots of experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs to train their puppy or dog. She is very reasonably priced and offers overnight stays and day boarding. This is particularly handy if u need to go out for the day and you don’t like using kennels. Thanks Jen 👍
A fantastic and brilliant service! Nicola and Dan have done wonders with our dog Ruby, a rescue dog who we was told would never be able to be off lead. However when at Dogs Life she is able to be off lead on her walks with her doggy pals and can be seen to be living her best life in the photos posted. Would highly recommend this amazing doggy day care.
Lovely people and our dog loves going there , they put pictures up of what they have done during the day ,
Dolly loves her day at dogs life day care and she has become so confident since going
Great service and care for our Cockerpo. Very much appreciated
Cleo had a fabulous time today.
I have been using Steve for several years now and trust him completely with my 2 cats. I wouldn’t use anyone else! Steve has a natural affinity with animals and has spent ages getting my rescue cats to feel comfortable with him. Nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend.
We have been using Adored Animals Hospitality for a number of years now and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Steve and his team have always provided a 5 star service when looking after both our dog Monty (who absolutely adores Steve) and our cats who are always happy when they’re visited to be fussed, fed & watered. I would highly recommend any of the services provided by Steve
Our dogs were very well looked after by Steve and Lottie while we were away. The home sitting was great and minimised disruption for the dogs. Steve is always very friendly and reliable, and we would highly recommend his services.
I can't speak highly enough of AAH, Stephen's passion for all animals is evident in his enthusiasm for offering a really great service ranging from popping in to feed your pet to arranging for his carefully vetted hosts to care for your friend if you're away. It's so reassuring to know that when you can't be there for your pet, Stephen is. Best pet care service I've found in Colchester.
Fantastic service very trustworthy friendly help me out loads . Always on time . Great valve for money peace of mind . Thanks again
Steve is a wonderful caring man, Highly recommended.
Thank you for reviewing us!
I used Colchester/Brightlingsea Dog Walking for a few months while I was unable to walk my dog Bella and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Paula is very friendly, reliable, experienced and knowledgeable about Dogs and more importantly my dog loved her!
When I met Jo I knew that my two house rabbits Anthea and Shady , my pet chickens Drumstick and Nugget were in safe hands for pet visits whilst we went on holidays for a few days. During that time I received a couple of pictures of happy bunnies and chickens which confirmed to us that they really liked their pet sitter and were relaxed. We got back home to find a very happy little gang and cared for+ daily notes resuming their day. We will a100% use your care pet services in the future! :)
Jo is absolutely amazing and fabulous with our 2 cats Ollie & Nori. When we’re away ‘Your Pet Care Services’ visits our house and feeds and spends some quality time with them, giving them much appreciated tlc. We can often receive pictures & updates and these are always greatly received. Jo cares so much about the pets she looks after and I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone wanting the best for there pet 🤗 Thanks Jo ‘Your Pet Care Services’ Phil
Jo has been visiting my cat on/off and over a longer holiday since we moved. She always makes the time to update me on the details of how my cat is doing during each visit, has taken the effort to befriend my cat during her visits whilst still respecting her space and has been very responsive in all our communication. I would highly recommend Jo as a catsitter. She is trustworthy and true to what she commits to do.
I cannot rate Your Pet Care Services highly enough. They are so friendly, helpful and importantly for me, flexible. Nothing is ever too much and my dog absolutely loves going on her walks! Would definitely recommend A*
great little company - looked after my little Jack Russell Puppy so well -even resorting to sleeping downstairs with him when he was unsettled! Highly recommend Jo for very home comfort style boarding and attention x
Lovley, trustworthy and amazing with Albert. Would recommend to anyone. Albert is always happy after being out for a walk with Jo.
We never thought our bunnies would bond after two very bad introductions at home. Jo works miracles, she's friendly and nice and keeps you up to date. I trust her totally with my pets and you should too. Lucky and Basil came home as friends and it has given us so much joy. If they ever fall out, or if we need to rebond - I'll be straight on the phone. Thank you!
Jo bonded my 2 bunnies within the 2 weeks of having them. She kept me updated on their progress with daily videos and messages which was lovely. I would definitely recommend Jo she is truly amazing
I would just like to say a massive thank you to jo for everything she has done for me.I had no hope to bond my two buck’s together after almost 6 months of attempting it myself. Jo was able to make them best friends within two weeks! They had there ups and downs but Jo made sure to keep me in the loop daily with videos and photos of how they was getting along. You can see the love and care she has for her own rabbits and others. My boys have been home for almost a week now and are still best buds. I would 100% recommend jo’s services to anybody.
Pity I can't find one in Carlisle as its a very good with a lovely lady who loves her rabbits
Absolutely wonderful genuine caring people . The love they have for their bunnies is amazing. I wish other people would feel the same for their fur babies. 🐇🐰 …
Excellent customer service and very friendly, would definitely recommend
I have not been to this place yet I do live next door
