Dog Sitters in Swannington

I paid quite a substantial deposit to board my dog here. Unfortunately, my dog has passed. While I appreciate I may not get the deposit back, I thought don't ask don't get. I explained the situation, and how they could release the space. I didn't even get a message back saying "sorry for your loss, but no refund" which I would've accepted. No message at all. This is a red flag to the care my dog would've been given if still alive if the owners couldn't be bothered to reply. Just seems heartless. Almost wish I hadn't told them.

Just collected our bulldog after a weekend stay here, absolutely brilliant service regular updates and our doug is happy and smells amazing!!! would highly recommend and we will definitely be using again for dougs holidays thankyou so much

We have been using Incline for many years. Our dogs (and smaller animals) have been so well looked after. In fact our large dog enjoys going! Incline provide a safe, secure and caring environment. They're an absolute pleasure to deal with and can do your dog grooming too. Fantastic. We will miss you guys once we relocate. The Reads x

I have left my 9 year old Yorkshire terrier at least four times, incline Kennels offer a professional service where the animals are well cared for even to the point of putting my Yorkshire terrier in a cage next to a dog her own size as she is scared of big dogs, would highly recommend

Our boy seemed none the worse for his weekend stay here. Was met at the gate (small parking area) and paperwork/cash exchanged. Fresh smelling perky dog returned 3 days later. Does what it says on the tin.

5* for the kennels and 5* for the grooming! Richard has amazing kennels and Olly and Bruno are always so glad to go. Sian does an amazing job making my boys look very smart and they always come back smelling fab 🤩 …

His name Richard my husband keeps his rabbit there when we go away he lovely man cares fir nibbles and other pets.

Fantastic kennels My two rescue dogs have just stayed here They are both quite nervous dogs so I was a bit worried about leaving them I've just picked them up and can't thank Richard enough for looking after them so well Happy dogs 👍

Very friendly and was great with my dog whilst on holiday and felt reassured she was ok also very responsive when contacting them .

Love this kennels are enjoys it never had any issues. Been using them for about 7 years

Love love love Louise. Trust her implicitly. Great attention and care.

Bobby and Zebby love going to stay with Louise and Preston and also for walks. The boys are always happy to see her when we bump into her out walking, that is the best recommendation you can have. Would highly recommend.

Hello Laura Rudkin. I am very sorry that you feel that you have not received a 5 star service from Preston’s Pals. If you would like any help or information about my services please let me know. Thank you. Louise Stokes

Thank you Ian x

Absolutely fantastic kennels, they look after our Wynter (who’s not exactly the easiest dog to look after) and they are amazing with him! Wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after him and he always comes home the happiest boy! 1000000% recommend

I did a gas service at the kennels hosts was very nice I left my bucket from the service and went round the back to collect such a nice place clean and tidy would definitely use the service looks amazing

Our nervous and much loved greyhound has recently returned from his first stay at Benvellyn. As newcomers to the experience of using kennels, we could not have asked for a better service either for our dog or for us. Brian and Jane are true dog lovers and have a wealth of knowledge and experience. The kennels are beautifully clean, spacious, comfortable, calm and well-lit. The grounds are lovely for the dogs to walk in, and every care is taken to meet the needs of each individual dog. As owners, we felt listened to and respected, and we were given as much time as we needed to ask questions and to discuss our dog's requirements. Thank you so much, Jane and Brian - we will be back!

We collected our 3 dogs this morning following their first stay with Brian & Jane. We recently moved into the area & were finding it difficult to find a kennel we were happy with. Having spoke to Jane on the phone we visited them to have a look around & were very impressed with the facilities but also the caring owners. The kennels are absolutely spotless & your dogs every need is cared for. It was obvious that our precious boys would be well looked after. When we collected them today it was lovely to see them so lively & happy & it was obvious they'd had a good time. They are booked in again next month & we are absolutely thrilled that we've found this gem. Thank you SO much Brian & Jane for looking after our boys.

Just picked up my cavapoochon Sparky , after 15 days at the Kennels and he is very happy and healthy … As this is the first time we left sparky in kennels for that long , Brian and team sent us few pics of Sparky while we were on holiday, despite the kennels being fully booked and very busy over the holiday time. Really appreciate it. Very happy with the care Sparky received and the professional service. I will be sending sparky again in future. Highly recommend this place. Thanks to the entire team 😊

Personally I would not take my dogs anywhere else. Not only are they lovely people and so very helpful, its also clear they have a huge love for dogs and know about dog welfare. I sleep soundly on holiday knowing my boys are in safe hands.

I cannot praise the care my dog recieved at Benvellyn enough. The kennels are spacious and clean with a good outside area. After a long stay she came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend them.

Love Benvellyn, best kennel by far, we have been taking our golden retriever there since she was 1yr and she’s 9 now, it was such a find and been a blessing to be able to relax in the knowledge that’s she’s happy and cared for while we are not around. It’s always clean, friendly and completely professional. Brian, Jane & Vicky are all amazing!

We have used Benvellyn a few times for our dog Chewy. From the first meeting the staff filled us with confidence that we had find the right place for him. He always comes back “smiling”, clean and happy. We highly recommend this kennels.

Would put 0 star if I could! She was very rude on the phone. Wouldn’t trust her looking after my two puppies. She refused my dogs (American Akita and cane corso) Such a horrible lady the way she spoke to me is a joke.

Rachel has looked after our Cockerpoo Woody on several occasions over the past few years and quite honestly he loves going to stay with her. We get regular updates whilst we're away with photos and its clear he's having a great time with the other dogs. She's always very thorough and professional and ensures that the animals that she has in her care are harmonious together. Its great to have peace of mind to know that he's being looked after so well. We can't speak highly enough of Rachel and the care she provides.

Rachel and Mark are super!! Our dogs adore them and love to see them. We love getting the daily pictures and Mark certainly knows how to use a good filter. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Rachel looked after our two cats while we were on holiday for a week, visiting twice daily. She was very thorough, reliable & gave them plenty of fuss & playtime. We loved the daily photo updates and both cats were perfectly content when we arrived home! Would definitely recommend & use again 🙂 thanks Rachel! …

Absolutely flawless service. We had a holiday to Florida and needed someone to come and feed our old cat twice a day whilst we was away. Service was great, communication was fantastic, kept us updated with photos. Whilst we was away we got delayed coming home and had to stay an extra 2 nights because of a hurricane. Was not a problem extending the service to carry on feeding our cat. I can't recommend this company enough. If you need a service they offer, don't think about it, just contact them and book. 5 star service. Thank you 💙😻

Honestly, Rachel has changed my life. My Assistance dog wasn't getting walked as much as he should, so we found these. She focuses on my dogs needs during the walk making it dog focused and allowing him to decompress. She has respected my wishes in terms of not letting him play with other dogs other than ones he knows. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited in the morning to go, she's so amazing with him and I can't recommend them enough.

Rachel has fed our two cats Rocket & Dixie on a number of occasions and has always looked after them incredibly well. She gives us peace of mind whilst we're away, both in terms of the cats & also our property, ensuring it's left clean & tidy. She gives regular updates about the cats and provides pictures/video which is lovely to see. Nothing is ever too much to ask. I would highly recommend her services.

RM Pet Care are fantastic! Rachel & Mark care deeply about the animals in their care. My Rommie rescue is very nervous around new people & Rachel spent the time getting to know her. This is invaluable for our sensitive souls & my dog absolutely adores both her & Mark! Highly recommended.

Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful attitude towards myself and my wife. My dog came back in such an awful state we actually thought we would need to take him to the vets. Apparently another dog viciously attacked him and left him with a severed ear. The owner was damn right rude and aggressive. Would not recommended to anyone whom care she their pet.

Rachel has been doing pop ins and walks for our dog since she was a little pup, and is absolutely brilliant. She is extremely trustworthy, sends photos and updates and gives our dog so much love! It is really refreshing to see someone really love what they do. Even more so, the tail wags when we’ve seen Rachel on the street are probably more that what we’d get shows a lot!

Couldn't recommend Rachel enough! Our dog always has a waggy tail when he sees her and we feel so confident that he is being well looked after when out on his walks. He's also boarded with her, we get regular photo updates and her communication has always been great.

Our young Labrador goes to the Doggie Day Crèche twice a week and Mea is fabulous with him. He has lots of energy and Mea has paired him up with a prefect friend to play with. We look forward to the regular videos and photographs of Charlie playing. He comes home worn out and ready for a nice sleep. I am so glad that we decided to send him to Glebe von Wood crèche. All of the staff are really nice but Mea goes above and beyond ❤️

GVW are a truly great team. Caring,kind and extremely professional. We put our dog Mya in for an overnight stay. It was obvious from the start that Mya was happy and relaxed with the staff. It's been such a reassuring experience for us and the staff tell us that they've really enjoyed looking after Mya. We are more than happy to recommend GVW and look forward to taking Mya there for many 'mini holidays' in the future!

We got our GSD from Andrea in March. Its been the best thing we did and I can’t describe how much we love him. He’s a healthy and happy boy and has a very friendly nature. The experience of getting a puppy from GVW has been extremely positive. Andrea is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of advice with us prior to getting a puppy. She’s diligent and it’s clear that she truly cares about her dogs, the puppies and the puppies’ future homes. We got regular updates once puppies were born, got to meet them at 4 weeks’ and then continued on getting updates including photos and useful info until we picked him up at 8 weeks. I couldn’t recommend this breeder enough! Also, I would recommend looking at the GVW website - even if you’re not getting a German shepherd puppy there’s a lot of useful information there about the process and what to look out for.

Our GSD Maddie spent 10 wonderful days at the GVW Dog Kennels. Great facilities, dog was very happy, fantastic services and management of the kennel. Highly recommended.

Andrea at GVW is brilliant, experienced, highly knowledgeable and put my worries for my fur baby at ease immediately upon meeting her. GVW is safe, secure and our Max was happy and content. See you soon Andrea, 🤗 …

Regularly use these kennels for our dog and have a fantastic experience! Milo (the dog) always comes back happy and wags his tail in excitement when we pull up to drop him off

Bruce loves Mea and always comes back with a smile on his face after a day of doggy fun. He's well exercised and socialised with other dogs and enjoys his days at crèche. Mea is fab with all of the dogs she cares for xx

Glebe Von Wood Kennels are in our opinion are amazing. Our Cavapoo Splodge 🐶 visits 2-3 times a year for either for a 1 or 2 week stay. He always returns home happy and we have great trust in them to take great care of him. He loves his stays which makes us feel so much happier in leaving him behind when we have to - We would highly recommend Andrea and her team! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I bought my gorgeous GSD girl from here after meeting both mother and father. She's been home for two weeks and is incredible. Both breeding and boarding are of the highest standard possible and I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

A great place to take your dogs! Our three are happy to stay there while we have our annual holiday. They also go to day creche when we are both at work; It's reassuring for us to know our boys and girl are safe and in expert hands, which means we can relax and welcome them home, knowing they've been very well cared for.

Now I'm not in the habit of complaining, but if I could leave a zero rating here I would. I was interrogated by the organiser at first booking about my dog's health, discovered I'd have to pay a full day's rate whether I'd arranged a half day or not... Then, to top it off, I had to cancel my first booking due to the Covid outbreak with 3 weeks' notice given, yet was told quite plainly my deposit was lost. I'd made two bookings though, the second in a week's time (11th May) and I actually recieved a text today asking what time I'd be taking my dog. During the Covid outbreak, to a lady in her 60s. Considering I got an interrogation at first booking about my dog's health, the experience I've received is clearly not just hypocritical, but all about profiteering over anything else. I've boarded pets for over 20 years now and I've never experienced anything like it. Avoid.

I appreciated the time taken to ensure that my elderly dog would be matched with the right carer by asking me about his needs, likes & dislikes and home routines. Also, the detailed terms and conditions meant I knew exactly what to expect from Petstay Leicestershire, particularly in regard to the difference between the arrangement and carer's fees. I would be happy to recommend Petstay Leicestershire as they really care about doing the best for the dogs in their care and their owners. Jane June 2021

Thank you Jane for sourcing Mark to look after Philip my greyhound. He was so lovely and Philip was happy staying with him. Thanks for asking about his health as Philip has Pannus and its important he gets his eyedrops every day. Mark was Brilliant and I cannot recommend him enough. Will definitely use petstay again.

Cody enjoyed his stay with 'Aunty Jane'. I would definitely use this service again. Home from home dog care that was based on my dogs needs.

Avoid using this company, not COVID flexible, booked for June well before lockdown started. Was told no refund of deposit nor could I move the dates or get a credit note.

Very good, and useful service! (Update: 5 years later!) Snowdrop are still doing a fantastic job of looking after our pets while we're away, and for an incredibly good price. We couldn't be happier with the service that they provide, and are always at a little bit of a loss of where to go when they do occasionally have a holiday themselves! An absolutely wonderful service.

Do not reply to enquiries.

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to Jo and her dedicated team for looking after our 2 year old rescue Nellie so well during her holiday boarding. Staff are welcoming, friendly, patient, kind, incredibly talented and passionate about what they do. Any reservations we initially had about our girl’s first stay away from home dealing with her separation anxiety, were quickly dispelled. Jo sent and posted regular photo and video updates so we felt included which was hugely appreciated. We marvelled at her dedication, kindness, love and understanding towards all her doggie guests. Definitely Nellie’s first of many holidays with Poplar Paws , thank you!

Would not recommend this place to anyone in a million years!our 6 month old vizsla has been 3 times now, first 2 times shes had an upset stomach the day after and the last time she came out limping with the daycare having no knowledge of how it happened, or even acknowledging it full stop! Turns out she has a broken toe that now needs surgery! accidents happen i understand that, but she would have made such a noise when it happened, so theyre either lying about not knowing how it happened or she wasnt being watched at all! Either way, i have no trust in them at all and she wont be going back

Recently started bringing our two boys to Poplar Paws and as an anxious pet owner they did everything to make me feel reassured. I value the fact they keep the group size small and post regular pupdates on social media. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and obviously have a true love for animals. My only critique would be that the space to park and turn is limited but that could be attributed to my driving 🤣 overall a great service! Will continue to use and recommend. Thank you Poplar 🐶🐶

Our high energy Doberman Obi absolutely loves it here. Where other daycares in the area have turned obi away for being too high energy, Poplar Paws have taken him in and met his needs more than enough! He comes back tired and is excited each time I drop him off.

Excellent dog boarding, staff are friendly and are all clearly dog lovers, my boxer gets so excited when she goes here and is very well looked after, it’s a great place for dogs to have fun while you’re away rather than being locked up like some other places. Thank you

Highly recommended daycare and boarding at Poplar Paws, George has been here most weeks for daycare while I'm at work, and boarded once with more booked in the calendar. He comes back fulfilled and tired from a day of fun. The staff are wonderful, caring and lovely and it's clear that they love the dogs, and enjoy what they do.

Amazing staff who love your dogs a much as the owners do. Such hard working staff you're all amazing, thank you

My dog has been here 3 times now and she loves it. The people who run it share regular photos whilst you’re away putting your mind at rest. It may be a little more expensive than basic kennels but in my opinion the set up is better, there is a 10 dog boarding limit (unless this has changed) so you know your dog will be closely looked after by Jo etc. Fully recommended. One final point, I have no idea how someone can give this place 1 star. From what I have seen the people who run the place really care for the dogs and do everything to make sure they are happy.

What an absolutely fantastic little place. I would highly recommended Poplar Paws to anybody looking for boarding for their dog. From initial contact to the drop off, the staff are great. So lovely and attentive and this followed on with the care for our dog. He had the best time and we had messages, photos and even videos while we were away. I'm sure our little Arlo was even smiling on one of the photos 😁 he was so well looked after, I think he was quite sad to come home. There is no other place we would use now and Arlo can't wait for his next holiday. Thank you for looking after our baby like he was one of your own.

Daisy attends the day care and has boarded for the first time recently and I am so happy with the care she receives. All the staff genuinely care for the dogs in their care and it makes leaving Daisy so much easier knowing she is is safe hands. I highly recommend the daycare and boarding 🐾❤️

Sue has helped us every time we needed someone to take care of our fluff boy, highly recommended.

100% recommend to anyone with dogs. Staff are friendly, thorough and personal, it's lovely to know that they know your dog's name and personality. Our lab has been attending since she was 6 months and absolutely loves it. Every time she finishes ,she comes back tired with some amazing photos from their page. Highly recommend and without dogtastic, I don't think our dog would be as social as she is .

I could not recommend Dogtastic daycare enough. Our dog has been going since the beginning, starting with his puppy training and now he’s very much part of the dogtastic family. We love how flexible they are but more importantly how much enrichment they provide our dog. We travel 30 mins each way to take him, hopefully that gives a feel for how much we value them!

Absolutely the best daycare,we have attended with two dogs so far. The staff are kind,professional and most of all care. We were so impressed we joined the training classes. The staff even handled my strong pup,when i had a hand operation,so he would not miss out on training. If i could give more stars,i would.

Took our German shepherd to the secure field here for some quality time and he absolutely loved it! We have taken him to a secure field before and he wasn’t overly impressed but here he had the best time! He jumped the jumps, splashed in the puddles and just ran for miles. Was so reasonably priced and was honestly the best £6 I’ve ever spent. Great time had by all of us ♥️

Hugely disappointing and expensive for what it is. The field was, frankly, disgusting, with so many huge piles of poo ( I stopped counting at 20) we left after 20 minutes ( I’d paid for an hour) because I felt it was a health hazard for my dog. I’ll overlook the standing water, because the weather has been terrible, but no excuse for it being unclean. Very poor and if you are looking for agility facilities ( I wasn’t) they are basically non-existent.

Our boy Oslo goes here regularly whilst we are both at work and it has been wonderful for him! He always has the best time and is so excited to go in every time. The staff are wonderful and always keep us up to date with what he has been doing all day. We feel very happy leaving him there knowing he is well looked after all day and gets to have the best time with his friends. It has done wonders for him socially and also gives us a nice tired pup for the evening! Couldn’t recommend any higher than Dogtastic!

Was really unsure to taking my dog here but with a crazy springer puppy and the partner working from home, we needed a way to tire her out and get some quiet for the zoom meetings. Every single doubt I had has been flipped. Not only is Daphne an utterly different dog for the better, she absolutely loves it there. From starting out with nervous sessions (which have turned her from a dog that would run from any other person/dog to the opposite.) To full days there now. Absolutely cannot recommend Dogtasticdoggydaycare enough. It’s worth every penny, and this is coming from someone who was very reluctant around the price. Thankyou to all the team for what you do.

Amazing daycare for dogs My dog loves it here! Lovely people, plenty of activities for the dogs and we get sent photos of our dog and his friends. Albies favourite place!!♥️

What an absolute gem of a business. The team are amazing with the dogs, the care they have for the dogs shows very clearly. The actual daycare centre is really well put together and a lot of thought has gone into it. Jen in account is very easy to get hold of and quick and efficient. Quite jealous of how much of a great day my dog has whilst I’m at work. Keep up the great work!

We had a bad experience at another daycare in another nearby town but we have loved Dogtastic for our boy. He gets to play on all manner of safe surfaces with lots of platforms and toys and smaller packs of dogs. The team always tell us what he’s been up to what a good boy he’s been, they are so lovely and genuinely care. We love the Facebook group where they upload pictures of his day and we can see for ourselves what a great time he’s had.
