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.

Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
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.
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Delphine was amazing. All 3 of our fur babies took an instant liking to her, which is very unusual of them. We right away knew both our cats and our dog would be happy with her. We came back to relaxed and happy pets and a clean house. We think we found our ‘go to’ house sitter with Delphine. We would love to have her over again.
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:)
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

We were looking for someone to take our boy out for a couple of walks a week during the work week and we are so glad we chose The Paw Smith gang! Katherine was more than helpful and introduced us at a meet to one of her lovely ladies Claire who takes our little man out for us and is now a firm favourite of Dobby! He absolutely loves going on his weekly adventures with Claire and has an amazing time with her and always comes back with a smile on his face! And she sends us wonderful snaps of him on her walks with him. We would recommend your services to anyone who would ask ☺️ We have included one of our favourite photos of Dobby Claire has taken as proof of how much of a great time he has 🥰
We use The Paw Smith twice a week for Lionel and Bella and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Despite a rather wet few months the dogs are always left clean (which is a miracle since our lab will jump in any water she can find). Clare is our regular dog walker in Botley and I can’t recommend her more, our dogs aren’t the best behaved and she is so patient with them. P.S. It makes my day coming home to the little notes Clare leaves us about her adventures with them. Thankyou Katherine and Clare ☺️
My dog adores her time with our Paw Smith dog walker. I know she gets put first every visit and gets spoiled rotten with love and affection. As a company they have been so reliable, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
Katherine has been looking after my dog, Red, regularly (twice a week) for over a year now. She's always treated Red like he's her own dog, which shows in all of Red's interactions with her as he absolutely loves her! My dog is my world, and I know Red is in good hands with her. She's 100% reliable, really friendly, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
We came across The Paw Smith when looking for a bit of help on busy days walking our two Cardigan corgi pups. Meeting Katherine and Clare made me feel super comfortable right away. Both our dogs took to them straight away, and Clare was really receptive to hearing about each of the dog’s quirks and tendencies to make sure they were well looked after and enjoyed their walks. Six months on, we are absolutely thrilled with how Clare looks after our babies. They are always overjoyed to see her; they come back from every walk full of smiles and tail wags (and thankfully very tired)! Clare has also stayed overnight with them and done a couple daycare visits, and those have gone brilliantly as well. Recommend unreservedly!
I have met both Katherine and Sophie and they are both lovely. When I get a new dog walker for Archie and Dillon, I pay a lot of attention to how my dogs react to being walked by a particular person, how enthusiastic they are to go and walk again with that person and I can state, without any doubt, that my dogs absolutely love their walks with Pawsmith and this is a reflection on how they are treated during the walks. I can therefore say that I would recommend Pawsmith to anyone who needs a dog walking service
Katherine walks my two dogs 3 times a week for an hour. They both love her and have enjoyed their walks over the past few months. I have profound mobility issues and this is a life line that has enabled me to keep both dogs. I really like the way that Katherine walks the dogs separately without “a pack”. One of my dogs can be very anxious but I haven’t seen that at all with Katherine. Would totally recommend.
The Paw Smith came highly recommended by a friend, so imagine my delight when I heard they were expanding into Oxford! Katherine and Carly send me photos/short videos and leave a note which says how the walk has gone. My Labrador has been on 3 walks with The Paw Smith so far and it is really lovely to come home from work to a calm and well stimulated pup. Therefore, I too, can highly recommend this company … I only wish they could walk my boy every day!!
Katherine is simply amazing and we wouldn’t think of ever using anyone else. She takes such amazing care of Rae when she house sits for us, who adores spending time with her.
Very professional and reliable service - highly recommended! Katherine has looked after our cat Luna a few times now and I have nothing but good things to say. Everything from the communication at the start and throughout, to the very professional invoice at the end was fantastic. Katherine kept us up to date with pictures and videos (as requested) and Luna loved her company. We will certainly be using the Paw Smith services again. From Hollie, George & Luna xx
Rudy had a fabulous stay at Pet Whisperers hotel for 11 nights. We had regular updates, videos and pictures of our Boy, all were really appreciated! We could relax knowing that our boy was well looked after and constantly stimulated during the day, tired and comfortable during the night. We would recommend Pet Whisperers to take care of your four legged family member while you are on holiday.
Oxford Pet Whisperers are an exceptional team of caring and dedicated professionals whom I completely trust with our puppy. The heartwarming videos they share on Instagram always brighten my day, showing all the happy dogs playing and enjoying themselves. They provide a wide range of activities and enrichment experiences, and you can even book additional services like baths, tail trims, and full grooming. Amber absolutely loves her time with them and has grown so much more confident since she started attending. I would highly recommend Oxford Pet Whisperers to anyone looking to enhance their puppy’s socialisation. Or to anyone needing day care facilities due to work schedules.
Our golden retriever Ella is a regular daycare visitor and this year we tried the doggy hotel facilities for the first time. It gave us peace of mind as we knew she will be comfortable knowing all staff and environment, and she absolutely loved it, I don't think she was very impressed when we turned up to pick her up 5 days later, she wanted to carry on with the fun! We had a couple of updates on how she is getting on which was lovely to have. And you can see what your pup is up to during the days on Instagram account. Would definitely recommend this over regular kennels!
Lovely introduction. The business has an amazing concept with everything to make the dogs and the owners happy. So much space and all is clean and safe. Even the air gets filtered. My dog didn't want to come with me home after 30 minutes there.
once again Oxford pet whisperer have outdone themselves my little baby Frenchie had the time of his life actually came back with some extra manners. They also managed to squeeze me in a short note as I had to go away thank you very much for everything you’ve done.
We booked our dog in for a puppy groom last year. We looked online and saw that it was going to cost £10 but were surprised by hidden charges and ended up paying around £35-£40. The female groomer was not friendly towards our dog and did not even ask for his name, then was rude when we arrived back a few minutes late to collect him. He did not look well groomed and certainly did not look happy in his post groom photo (see pic). Upon returning home we found out why as the groomer had cut him under the eye and did not tell us. It looked like she had just washed the wound and covered it up. Luckily it did not become infected. We were very displeased and frankly disgusted with the service but due to other factors in life getting in the way at the time we never reached out to Oxford Pet Whisperers, hence the late review. We would certainly not return nor recommend their services to anyone else.
From the start, they have been very accommodating, professional and so friendly! We love the amount of time our pup gets to play and socialise with her friends as well as the first week report card and ongoing photos we can see on social media during her visits! A really well-run and dog centric business who we will be sure to continue to use 👍🏻
All I can say is that this company provides a fantastic service - my 16 week Frenchie had the time of his life playing and mixing with the other dog and staff. thanks for all the support and kindness you gave to my little boy.
Thank you so much for another fabulous groom on Friday. The family commented on how silky soft his coat was and he smelt fabulous. Teddy is so happy at OPW he goes off happily and comes home content and in need of a good long snooze. Having a bath/groom at OPW is a must, especially if the children/grandchildren are home for the weekend as Teddy looks and smells great. Roll on his Christmas groom . This is Teddy asking the cats to smell his lovely clean coat.
Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Jamie, Natalie and the team are amazing. I’ve been sending my dog Cooper to oxford pet whisperers for a year and a half now since he was a puppy and I wouldn’t dream of using any other daycare/dog walking service. They are experts in their field and take such good care of Cooper. He comes home tired out for the evening after a day at daycare and as soon as I turn the corner in to the car park to drop him off, he gets so excited! The pick up and play service is great too as it allows me to be a lot more flexible with work! The daily updates on Instagram are fantastic as it allows you to see what your dogs been getting up to in the day. Couldn’t give a more glowing review ⭐️
I went to collect my aunt's dog so she wasn't alone over Christmas. When I arrived the staff were friendly, helpful and it was clear they genuinely cared about the wellbeing of the animals in their care.
Excellent care of my dog Chester, as always. Can’t recommend Lynda and her caring team enough. Facilities are spotless and both indoor and outdoor kennels are spacious and very well maintained. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Very helpful lady, who managed to accommodate our 5 1/2 yr old dog at very short notice. The kennels are very secure, exceptionally clean, with generous individual indoor and outdoor accommodation and our dog was more than well catered for - he was happy and clean when we arrived to collect him and had made numerous new friends. Food choices and the distribution of his daily medication was all attended to. I would highly recommend Acremead and will definitely be a return visitor. Many thanks to Lynda and her wonderful staff.
Our girls have just spent a weekend at Acremead Kennels and we are really pleased with our first experience. This has been the first time we have left our 2 dogs for more than 1 night so we were quite nervous. My wife called to check in and was told “no news is good news” and to enjoy our time away which we found reassuring. Both dogs were happy and well looked after during their stay, we have come home and booked them in for 2 weeks in the summer. Thank you!
Our pup has just spent 3 weeks at Acremead. This is her second time there and she has been very well looked after. She was pleased to see us though. We also used them for our other dog who was always happy there. I would definitely recommend them
Stood outside the gates, phoned up and was greeted by a very unfriendly lady. Didnt seem to want to help and let me know how stupid i was for just coming over to see what it was like!! Some people actually want to see where they are dropping of their family pets before signing forms and paying 100£ deposits!
We put our two dogs in for 6 days in February 2022. They were well looked after and definitely got more walks than if they'd been at home. It was their first time in kennels. No problems. Would thoroughly recommend.
My dogs are always extreamly well looked after when they go to Acremead, I have no hestation recomending them. This is a family business and customers should respect this, i find people are too quick to use Google reviews to air thier disrespect. If anyone wants to make a charity donation, thats thier own prerogative. The loss of a family pet is very difficult as they are a very well loved member of your family, and the loss is very sad, but please keep your grief private rather than use it to belittle others.
Always take our whippet Slinky here as does the rest of the family. He always comes home in great condition although he does tell us off. 😁 …
What a way to make money off of the death of my beautiful dog, Ellie, rest in peace. - Refusing to refund £50.00 deposit, which was going to be donated towards the research of Gastric Dilation/Torsion in dogs. Enjoy your £50.
Macey walks our dog twice a week and he always comes back a happy pooch, he loves her! Punctual, friendly and professional service.
I have known Amanda for several years as she used to occasionally look after our dog who we sadly lost last summer. We now have a rescue spaniel who hadn't been socialised sufficiently and could be anxious around other dogs. After only a handful of sessions in their wonderful private paddock, we can see Willow's confidence improving. Amanda and her team provide a safe and caring environment for our much loved pets and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
I’ve been absolutely delighted with Amanda and her team, having recently stopped working from home and needing support with my German Shorthaired Pointer during the day. Amanda shows the utmost professionalism - she is highly experienced and also clearly loves what she does and does an excellent job. I love getting the photo updates and am convinced my dog is in the best hands. I was worried about leaving her but any anxiety dissipated straight away. We are very lucky and I cannot recommend SOPS highly enough.
Fantastic, friendly and caring service from South Oxon Pet Services. Amanda recently looked after our 3 cats, coming in twice a day to ensure they had everything they needed and keeping them busy with cat treat puzzles and other games. I always worry about leaving the cats but Amanda kept us reassured with plenty of photos and videos. Highly recommend!
I have used the boarding services of South Oxon Pet Services for a number of years now for my two Working Cocker Spaniels. It is great to see the daily photos of my dogs out on their walks while my wife and I are on holiday or when South Oxon Pet Services have them for the day. I can highly recommend their services and have total faith my dogs are in good hands.
I first used SOPS 8 years ago for my Cockapoo Cracker. I was anxious about leaving him for the first time but he had a wonderful stay . It was lovely to see daily photos of him on Facebook while I was away. Amanda and Tony are friendly and easy to get on with and provide a safe, stimulating and caring environment for the animals they look after. Cracker and I moved away to Wales a few years ago but I recently used their services again. Cracker made himself at home instantly as if he’d never been away and on my return, apart from being delighted to see me of course, he was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful holiday too. Thank you SOPS. I highly recommend their services to anyone.
Saying THANK YOU is not enough for the service Amanda and Tony provides. We were going away for ten days for the first time since we have adopted Ruby more than two years ago. She is a sensitive and stressed senior girl around anyone new. Amanda reassured us prior our departure that everything will be fine and provided regular updates with pictures and videos through our stay. Ruby seemed to get used to with Amanda and Tony quickly, which demonstrates how caring and loving they are. When we have returned Ruby didn't seemed stressed and she look well looked after and happy. After all Amanda gave Ruby her favorite treats :). They have also ensured that our bins were moved in and out of the property for collection, and even potted up plant plugs when they were delivered while we were away and saved all the plants. I will definitely use South Oxon Pet Service again and will recommend anyone looking for affordable and the best pet service they can have by miles. Thank you both!
Having never used a pet sitting service before I wasn’t really sure what to expect but Amanda exceeded my expectations. Her service was personalised and the care she gave for our cat Ozzi was exceptional. He injured his paw which required stitches just before we went on holiday. This meant he was housebound for a week which he is not used to and is a timid cat by nature. She visited twice daily and administered his antibiotics and took him for his check up at the vets and kept us updated with her fantastic photos and gave us the reassurance we needed that he was in good hands. We returned from our 2 week holiday to a very contented cat and his paw has healed beautifully. I highly recommend South Oxon Pet Services and would not hesitate to use them again. 🐈⬛🥰
Amanda has looked after willow since she was 4 months old ,she was recommended by a friend ,willow was a very nervous puppy when we got her and was literally scared of everything and everyone willow was so bad biting all the time and not just puppy biting really biting that we very nearly got rid of her ,Amanda was so good and patient with willow and treated her like she was her dog even took her home to play with her dogs Now 2 years later willow is a different dog so calm cuddly and very loving although she still has some nervoness in her until she trust you then she's your best friend Amanda has been amazing for willow she goes out everyday with Amanda for walks and boards at her house when we go away willow knows when the door bell rings it's Amanda and looks forward to seeing her and her walks if it wasn't for Amanda and all her help and training willow would not be with us now would definitely recommend Amanda and south oxon pet services 100%
Amanda took great care of our cat whilst we were on holiday. It was so much easier leaving him at home knowing he would have visits and be fussed over, than taking him to a cattery. It was wonderful to see pictures of him on Facebook and Amanda kept in touch to let us know how he was getting on so we didn't need to worry! We came back to a very happy cat (we didn't even have the usual post holiday sulk, either!!). Would very much recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after their fur-baby whilst they're away!
Amanda/Nicky ensured our girls were well looked after over the Christmas break. Easy comms and cute daily updates with pictures. Competitively priced and professional approach. Would recommend their services.
We took our 2 cavachons here for 12 days, I am honestly so happy with the care from this place. We asked for updates and they would reply and send updates and pictures along side. Our boy was overweight and we asked for suggestions and if they could try and get him to loose some weight, he lost 1kg being here and we now have a routine and he has since lost another 1kg being with us at home, we couldn't be happier with him. I could not recommend Honeybottom more! Both ladies on the reception and phones are lovely too! Which really helps. Thanks again, see you guys in June! X
The communication levels are very good, and the team have all been really friendly. Most importantly our dog always comes home after a visit in a really positive mood and is always tired the next day which is a clear sign he has had plenty of exercise.
Our dog has been going here for 6 months now and she loves it. Staff are great and our pup is well looked after
Our dog has been coming to Honeybottom for regular daycare and occasional overnight stays since he was 15 weeks old and he absolutely loves it here. He can't wait to go in when we arrive, spends the day playing with his friends and comes home happy and very tired! Phil and the team are fantastic and really understand and care about each dog. It's very reassuring knowing your dog is so well looked after. All dogs can be catered for, whether they are super sociable or more on the nervous side and as first time dog owners we have really appreciated all Phil's advice over the last year or so. We wouldn't want to send our dog anywhere else and would highly recommend!
Our dog Max spent 8 nights at Honeybottom kennels. He went there based on these reviews of which, the latest ones looked good. Unfortunately ours was a different story. Max has been in kennels many times before, mainly in Yorkshire before we moved. He always came out happy to see us but more importantly he came out healthy and clean. Max was picked up by our son while we were still travelling home. The first thing we noticed was the smell, he stank. He’s a very bouncy, happy dog and after the initial excitement of seeing us he slumped. It was then we noticed how poorly he looked. His lower eye lids had dropped to the extent that he looked like a blood hound. It was also evident that, apart from the fact he smelled awful, he’d lost a lot of weight. When we dropped him of we were asked how much he ate. I explained exactly his morning and evening meals. He’s quite a large dog so one can isn’t enough. He’s also active all day as he comes to work with me. The fact that he lost weight surprised me as we were told that he would be walked twice a day which means he should actually have put on weight had he been fed correctly. We contacted Phil and explained our concerns. As per his weight loss he explained that on arrival his weight was 48kg and on departure a little over 46kg. That nearly a 2 kg weight loss in just over a week. He apparently saw no problem with this. As for his listlessness he explained that some dogs don’t take well to being left at kennels. I’ve worked out that over the six years we’ve had max he would have been in kennels well over 10 times. He’s never had a problem before. It took two days until he was back to his normal self. I’m sure the owners response will claim that we are unhappy that we were charged for 9 nights and he was only there for 8 nights which prompted this 1 star review. That isn’t the case as after he explained their terms and conditions I fully understand the charge and it’s only £19.50. Maybe we were unlucky as a lot of people have given good reviews but I will never leave a dog in their care again.
We were worried as this was our dog’s first time in Kennelly but the staff were great and instantly gave us confidence. A kennel that clearly cares about dogs and not just making a profit! Clean, caring and great value.
I cannot express how excellent this company is! I have been using them for a few weeks now and they have provided myself with peace of mind that my dog is being well looked after during the day. He is able to socialise with other dogs and exercise, play and have an incredible time. Team are always willing to answer my silly calls and emails with questions. It is a blessing to have them so close to us. I would recommend AND HAVE to all the dog owners I know. No faults. Safe and friendly environment where they know your dog personally... so much so that my Winston because a bouncy and excited whenever we get close to the building. Thank you for all you do Phil and team!!!!
All my dogs love it here - even the very nervous one. The Staff go out of their way to make sure the dogs are all happy and healthy whilst in their care. I've been using these kennels for several years and it's great to see all the updating that is being done - new Kennel blocks are great and the new run layout means that all the dogs have plenty of space when outside. Can't praise the Staff and Management enough. Great new kennel blocks mean all kennels have dedicated runs - so dogs get much more run time (as well as their walks)
We used Honeybottom kennels for the first time recently. We picked up our Goldendoodle this morning after her first week there while we were on a holiday abroad, and she has come back very happy and relaxed and there were no issues at all. Very quick & easy drop-off and pick-up and great value. Will definitely be back, and we recommend 👍 Thank you Honeybottom Kennels!
We have been using honeybottom for years now and the staff are so professional. Pepper always comes back to me happy. Thanks for all you do for the dogs here.
Our Peggy loves staying with Lorain and her lovely labs at Dog Haven Boarding! Whether it’s a weekend trip or just a daycare session, the dogs are occupied and engaged and get plenty of love and cuddles. We are so glad to have found them as it really has been like a home from home for Peggy, she even knows exactly where she’s going once we turn off at the roundabout and gets all excited in the car! You can tell Lorain really cares for the dogs and gets to know them and all their little quirks to make sure their normal routines aren't disrupted too much. We also get plenty of photo updates which really make us smile! We would recommend Dog Haven Boarding 100%!
We were away for a week, and our energetic furball Rocco had the time of his life with Lorain and his new best friend, Ronnie. Our 3-year-old Golden Retriever was truly receiving top-notch care every step of the way. We absolutely loved the daily updates—his big smile, fun walks, and happy eating made us feel at ease knowing he was in the best hands. We highly recommend Dog Haven to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Lorain for taking such wonderful care of him
Having recently moved into this area we are so pleased to have found Dog Haven Boarding. Lorain is so thoughtful and kind and has really helped our dog Oscar to settle and feel at home with her and her other dogs. We have really appreciated the way she looks after him and we love the regular photos throughout each day! We would highly recommend her to others. Thank you so much Lorain!
Lorain and her lovely family look after our highly strung English bulldog every year when we go on our holidays. It’s a home from home for our four legged baby, she loves it. Our Lola is always well cared for and looked after during her stay. Amazing service!
Lorain has looked after my rescue dog who does not warm to people easily. However, the moment he entered Dog Haven he was at ease and instantly loved Lorain (unusual for him). He had a fantastic weekend and didn’t want to come home! Lorain kept us updated with how he was getting on. It is such a lovely place for dogs and felt like a little holiday for him. It’s a real home from home for dogs - thanks so much Lorain!
Lorain has looked after my greyhound for the last couple of years and she loves it there. It’s like home from home for her and much less stressful than a traditional kennels. Highly recommend!
We have used Dog Haven Boarding on numerous occasions and it is a god send for our two little fur babies! We were not keen with putting our dogs in kennels, particularly as our little Yorkipoo is very needy, so when we found Lorain and her family offering daycare, overnight stays, including holidays in a home environment we were so pleased. We went for an initial visit to meet Lorain and to see how our dogs would enjoy the stay, and interact with Lorain’s own lovely labradors. It is a clean home, with a good sized, safe enclosed garden for the dogs to play and enjoy the outdoors. They are also taken for walks outside of the house in small groups during daycare on leads, as safety of the dogs is taken seriously. I think this is really important for routine and also provides further stimulation. Photo updates during the day gives reassurance and is a nice touch. After daycare, on collection, both our dogs appear very happy, so we know they have been well looked after whilst in daycare with Lorain and often are very keen to get back into the house when we return. We also used Dog Haven Boarding for our first holiday away since we got the dogs and we were very anxious. Lorain listened to our requirements and met all the needs for our dogs whilst we were away. So it was easy to enjoy our time away without worrying about the dogs. Again the photo and video updates really helped us to stay relaxed and not worry so much. Lorain is very approachable and has a lovely manner. She often responds at short notice and she is totally amazing with our dogs. If you are considering a home environment for daycare or whilst you are on holiday, I would highly recommend using Dog Haven Boarding!
I can't recommend Lorain highly enough. She clearly loves dogs, and they clearly love being with her - dog people will understand what this means. I always used to feel guilty going on holiday and taking my black lab to kennels. Not any more. As soon as we are near Dog Haven he knows exactly where he is and is visibly excited and happy. Loraine sends through regularly updates during the stay and I'm always happy knowing that our dog is being well cared for.
My two dogs were instantly at ease with Lorain, as was I. She has the loveliest manner with dogs, and I felt very happy to leave my boys with her. They came back happy and tired. When we went for our second visit, they could not wait to get back through her door! I am delighted I have found Lorain , and we will now be regular visitors.
Our black lab loves going twice a week and he is treated like a member of the family. We cannot recommend it highly enough. A fantastic friendly service where the wellbeing of the dog is taken very seriously. First class and much appreciated....thank you.
Joanna gave our dog the best couple of days. Her response to messages was amazing and during our holiday we received wonderful photos and video’s. Thoroughly recommend Haddon Pet Services.
Excellent service. Cares so much for all our animals, including 4 dogs and 2 chickens. Very trustworthy and professional. I'm so glad we've found Little Paws.
We have been using Little Paws to do puppy visits and short walks for our new puppy. Carla is always punctual and I love getting a photo / video from every visit. She has been great at giving Raffie lots of different experiences - playing in the garden, walk to the park, training on the long lead, walking with one of her own dogs etc. I am more than happy to recommend Little Paws and will be using them for doggy day care and home boarding in the future.
We checked our dog Basil in for day care recently. We were nervous as it was his first time away from us but Carla reassured us. She did an amazing job with him, introduced him to her dogs and kept us updated via WhatsApp with messages and videos. Would definitely reccomend!
If you have a dog who needs day care or a boarding service - this is the place you want to send them, The lady that runs it is very nice and polite , the dogs have a very nice time here! And they have a big garden witch the dogs can run around 👍 they deserve the 5 star ! …
Our little dog Mabel, 9 year old terrier of this parish has enjoyed staying with Carla and her family in the past and is now very excited that she will now stay in a 4* doggy hotel 🐕🦴🐕🦴 …
Highly recommend Little Paws great service very professional and looked after our dog Spot for 3 weeks whilst I was in Bali, we got regular updates and our guy had a great time !
I’m one of those dog mums that , Well to be fair is really nervous about leaving my pup (( she’s always a pup even though she’s nearly 8)) with anyone.. so to find Yasmin on Facebook last year and saving her details was the best thing I have done… I read several comments and read her posts and reviews with great interest. So a couple of months ago after several messages back and forth and lots of reassurance from Yasmin we met had a walk and low and behold this weekend we had a family wedding so Yasmin’s service was required and to say that I felt so happy that my Smartie was in safe hands was brilliant! I received pics throughout the day and knowing she was having the best time as if we were with her was so reassuring. I definitely recommend and will be using Yasmin again. Thank you Yasmin you are truly amazing. 😊
Highly highly recommend! Yaz walks our crazy pooch on a regular basis and she literally has the best time on her walks! She always updates with pics. We are sooo grateful for Yaz & our doggy gets so excited when we mention Yaz’s name on her dog walking days 😊 …
Initial correspondence was Paw-fect and Yasmin is very friendly. Our dog took to her straight away. Yasmin took care of our lovely boy whilst we were away. Cannot thank her enough for looking after him for his walkies. Definitely come back for more care in the future.
Yasmin is our 2 dogs walker and they absolutely love her! We are really happy with her, she walks them weekly and she'll be pet sitting too over the summer, and hopefully every time we need to go away :-)
Yasmin did an amazing job looking after our dog for the night! She is very reliable and left the house spotless. She kept us in the loop about our dog. We are looking forward to booking Yasmin again for a week in the summer!
A great Thank you to Yasmin, I would recommend Paw-fection/ Yasmine anytime. We were kept updated and our Dog Troya was so well looked after and spoilt whilst we were away on holiday. Yasmine has a real love for the Pets she walks or looks after.
My dog absolutely loves her aunty Yasmin! I highly recommend her as a dog walker! Yasmin is kind, trustworthy and professional. My dog has weekly walks with Yasmin, I have also used her daycare and pop in service on occasion too and Will absolutely continue to do so. I always know my dog is in good hands 🥰 …
Yasmine has been looking after our dog Bruno since he was 8 weeks old. She built up a lovely bond with him during puppy play sessions at our house, whilst he wasn’t allowed out, and now she takes him out in group walks. It’s easy to see that this isn’t just a job for Yasmine, she genuinely loves and cares for all of the dogs she looks after. Bruno absolutely adores her. He can be a bit stubborn and slow at walking, but she’s always so patient and encouraging to get him walking. Yasmine has also done overnight dog sitting/care for Bruno too. It was so nice to go away knowing he was in safe hands and being more than well looked after. The house was immaculate when we returned. I can honestly recommend all the services. We’re so happy with Yasmine and knowing he’s being so well looked after in her care.
Yasmin is brilliant, reliable and clearly loves dogs! She’d been a great help keeping an eye on my dog who adores her!
Yaz and her partner house sat for me for just over a week whilst I was on holiday in Costa Rica. They did an amazing job of looking after my Boxer dog Twiggy, my marine fish and my chicken. Yaz took extra special care of Twiggy, baking her treats and taking her for exciting days out. In all honesty, I don’t think Twiggy wanted me to come home haha. Thank you so much 🐾
Lynette takes wonderful care of my cat and guinea pigs while I’m away! Such lovely pictures and updates for my peace of mind too. Perfect!
Claire and her terrific team have always done a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I highly recommend them!
Our lovely Molly has grown in confidence over the years she has been walking with Claire and her brilliant team. She looks forward to hearing Claire come through the gate and does a crazy little dance every week - couldn't have asked for a better service or better care. Molly has also loved her mini breaks with Claire - highly recommended.
Claire and her team are friendly, reliable, trustworthy & you can tell they really care about the animals they look after. My dog gets just as much love & attention with Claire as he does at home, with the added benefit of lots of lovely walks! The photo updates I get are great too. I would recommend Outward Hounds to anyone.
I would 100% recommend Claire and Outward Hounds Dog Walking and Pet Services. Claire’s passion for the service she provides is clear to see from first meeting her. She offers such a unique personal service and cares for each dog as if they were her own. She is a god send!
Outward Hounds provide a great service, dogs always come home happy, tired and clean! They love their walks with Claire and it's obvious she loves the dogs she works with. Would highly recommend.
Cody has really enjoyed going out on his walks with Clare and other team members at Outward Hounds. Mixing with other dogs as well has been brilliant as part of his social and ongoing training. Clare's upbeat personality, reassurance and no nonsense attitude has really helped with this and she takes everything in her stride! Thank you :)
We feel so lucky to have found Outward Hounds for our dog. Exceptional day care service and walks. We wouldn’t trust our dog with anyone else. He gets so much love and attention, always coming home happy, tired and fulfilled. Would highly, highly recommend.
Perfect example of a personal service. The team are great, our pup gets a really good walk (often for much longer than we expect). They accommodate us last minute when needed for busy days at work. My only worry is he likes them more than us :)
We have used outward hounds for nearly a year now Claire and the team are extremely professional give great communication and are good value for money I would highly recommend their services.
