We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Jeannette was the absolute best pet sitter anyone could ask for! She was communicative and easy going. She took very good care of the house, but most importantly she took superb care of my dog, Bodhi. She took him on long walks and fun adventures everyday. While I was out of the country, I received pictures and updates of their "vacation". I loved seeing Bodhi's and Jeannette's smiles in all the photos. They definitely bonded. :) I would highly recommend Jeannette as a pet sitter and also as an excellent person who cares about people, animals, and the planet.
Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.
Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.
We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
Mikala & Jake were great house & pet sitters for us!! Our dog and two cats absolutely adored them, and we came back to a very clean home with happy animals :) They were very reliable and fast communicators. They even had to deal with our power going out while we were away, and they handled it well. It eased our minds to know our animals and house were in such great care while we were away and would have them sit for us anytime!
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.

My dog Reggie loves it here - he waits in the window for their arrival and is so excited when they arrive. His confidence has grown massively and he’s more comfortable in the presence of other dogs thanks to the lovely dogs they take on and set up at the daycare (small groups). All the people are great and Reggie loves then too!
Our Irish Setter - Rosa has been going to the Dog Day Care Club for about 5 months now, It was scary at first sending her away from us but she loves her day out on a Friday and we can do what we like for a day without worrying about her. The team are lovely and they care so much about all the dogs, it's wonderful seeing all the photos every week. She comes home exhausted but happy, which is great. This week she came home with her Repawt Card which made us smile, they say she's "enchanting" even though she barks a bit and her recall isn't the best. Well done Day Care team, you're brilliant!!
Our sproodle has been a regular with the Dog Day Care Club since he was six months, and I can't recommend them highly enough. He has the best time, comes home, has supper and goes to sleep! They take real care and attention, and back you up on any training you might be doing, and often surprise us with little touches (such as well done certificates if he's actually NOT jumped up that day!). Thank you Nick, Bryony and all the team.
Our dog loves going to The Dog Day Care Club, she waits by the window to watch out for the van that collects her! We have been very happy customers for several years.
From first meeting Nick to see where my dog Reggie would be spending his day, it was clear to see how invested and thoughtful they were from the get go. Reggie joined the team as a 7 month old energetic puppy and grew into a polite adult always coming home clean and tired. His at-home training was reinforced by the team and they also taught whistle recall which I have carried on at home. I received updates and pictures, and monthly training emails. The dogs receive mental and physical stimulation with games and off lead exercise, they make sure to group the dogs accordingly and I appreciated the ease of the pick up/drop off service - Reggie would be waiting by the door every morning and wouldn’t even look back! A caring, trustworthy team that you can rely on. Highly recommend.
Bry, Nick and the entire Dog Day Care Club team are amazing! Exceptionnel service, especially the drop off and collection and they respond rapidly to any queries or concerns you have. We have been sending our dog to them twice a week for the past few months now and from the pictures they share of his time with them you can tell he is having a great time socialising with other dogs and roaming free in their secure enclosed fields! Would highly recommend them for doggy daycare!
I have a rescue dog who was very anxious with other dogs but since joining the dog day care club he has relaxed and absolutely loves his time there! They have helped my scruffy boy hugely and managed to put a very anxious mum at ease quickly. The feed back is great (even giving report cards and certificates) and there are always great photos of the woofers having fun! They are reliable and always manage to fit in an extra day when I need a bit of help. I can not recommend this fantastic day care enough!
My dog George has been to the Dog Day Care Club since we arrived from Australia - he absolutely loves the place and people! He comes home smelling delightful and absolutely exhausted after such a stimulating day. They have paddocks for walks but also do training, agility, brain games and relaxation. Bryony, Nick and team are amazing and the door to door service is so convenient! George has also used homestay for when I have travelled without him, they treat him as a member of the family which is so important to me. They provide updates and photos which eases some guilt as I see he is happy, healthy and well-cared for.
One of my dogs needs a lot of freedom to run. With so much land available she is in her element. The groups are selected with dogs that enjoy each other’s company. The games in the barn provide brain stimulation and exercise. All the staff are extremely caring and very professional with a lot of relevant experience. Having a door to door service is the icing on the cake, and you get regular updates on how your dog is doing. My girlie arrives home tired and very happy after the best days ever. Each session’s photos of all the dogs are on social media and it is great to see how much enjoyment and fun they have. I have worked in animal welfare for many years and can honestly say that Nick, Bry and all the staff are simply the best; taking extra care in the pandemic. Highly recommend in every respect 😍
I honestly can’t fault anything about these guys ! This place is miles above any other day care I have visited or experienced. If you want to send your dog to somewhere they will be truly cared for and looked after then this is the place ! Everything about this day care is 10/10! The outside fields and assault course , the indoor kennels , the on site grooming facilities,the daily handover at pickup ! Luna comes home clean , tired and clearly happy ! I really wouldn’t go else where :)
The We Love Pets team have been walking my two border terriers for the past 7 years, more recently adding my Whippet puppy to the crew! Over 7 years Claire & her team have got to know my dogs really well, understanding the dogs quirks, especially as they are getting older, adapting especially as their needs have changed. Our current walker has been walking the dogs for a while now, including the whippet baby! The dogs love her she loves & cares for them, they’re always delighted to see her and enjoy their walks. She looks out for their welfare & notices when something is not quite right. More recently we have been using the home boarding services, this is a really welcome service where I don’t want my elderly dogs staying in kennel, I also like the fact that there is someone in the house. I feel I can go away on business or holiday and know that my dogs and home being in safe hands with a totally trustworthy team who keep me up to date with what’s going on at home! We Love Pets offer an incredible personal service with a loving touch for your pets, I would highly recommend them.
There are not many people who are brave enough to look after three boisterous weimaraners, but Claire has welcomed this wholeheartedly! My dogs absolutely love Claire, and can’t wait for their cuddles. She is so attentive to their individual needs, and she spends lots of time with them in the garden and making sure that everything is operating just right. Claire also looks after my house with the dogs in it, rather than us worrying about kennels or having to take them to someone else’s house, which provides us with so much confidence. I have no hesitation recommending Claire to anyone thinking about using her company for dog-sitting and walking services. ❤️
Great service from WLP Cirencester, they really look after our dog and treat her like they would their own pet, she clearly loves her walks with them. Claire is very flexible to the dogs needs and provides piece of mind that she is being properly cared for.
I have been using Claire for quite a while now and she is the most reliable and professional business I’ve ever used! Really struggled to find reliable people in Cirencester. Genuine care towards my dog (who’s a chihuahua and doesn’t always enjoy going out) 100% reliability and lots of care and compassion towards my pooch. Highly recommend :)- Sophie &Bunny 🐾
Claire and her team provide a fantastic service. When I first met Claire back in February, she took the time to get to know me and my family and the needs of our pets. She has tailored her service to meet our needs perfectly. Her and her team have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our pet is looked after with love and care. I have complete faith and trust and can rest easy knowing that our pet is going to be well looked after. I would highly recommend you reach out to Claire and use her services. A VERY happy customer!
Claire and her team are flexible and very friendly and they are extremely reliable. We are very happy with the service they are providing for our dog Dotty.
Claire is a fab dog walker, takes the time to get to know both the family and their pets. By understanding the needs and requirements of the dogs she’s able to plan and execute wonderful walks either alone of with a buddy. When odd occasions arise and she’s unable to attend, a friendly colleague is always on hand. Never out of the blue as she ensures that the customer has previously met the colleague beforehand. Our collie has grown very fond of her and always looks forward to his next adventure! I would recommend Claire as she is fully insured and background checked. Also for her expertise and walk rate is very competitive.
We would highly recommend Claire if you are looking for someone to look after your cats whilst you are away. Her love of animals shines through and she spends time with you to find out about your pets’ characters and any special needs. It is so reassuring to be able to go away now and know how well our girls are being looked after in their own home, which is so much less stressful than going to a cattery. And it’s great to receive a message from Claire after each visit to reassure us that all is well with them. Thank you so much Claire, we wish we had found you years ago!
We have been using We Love Pets Cirencester for a few years now. I can't recommend them highly enough. They are great. Completely reliable and ensure our pets get their usual pettings as well as food and the basics. When our travel plans changed unexpectedly they were able to add us to their busy schedule. I can trust them with our animals and that is a real compliment .
Claire has such a lovely natural friendly approach with animals. Our dogs love her. Would recommend her 100%
Gayle and the rest of the Whoswalkingme team are absolutely amazing. I have used their services, both daycare and boarding, for the past couple of years and I don't know where I'd be without them! Our pup Oscar loves going for his walks and I always feel so relaxed knowing that he is in their very safe and loving hands. Gayle and the team always go above and beyond, whether it's baking their special home made liver cake or even bringing our pup to our wedding recently for a few pics! Thank you Whoswalkingme team! I can't recommend you highly enough.
I had never used a dog walker, and I didn't really know what to expect. If you're looking for someone who: - Loves dogs - tick - Facilitates easy communication (I love love love the app) - tick - Does what they say, when they say - tick - Is trained in canine first aid - tick - Uses trackers to make sure they know exactly where everyone is - tick - Encourages great socialisation for your dog - Returns your dog clean, often cleaner than when they left - tick - Returns your dog absolutely exhausted from a great walk with their friends - tick Gayle and her team are amazing!
The Who’s Walking Me team are exceptional. Every day I know that my pup is in the safe, kind and loving hands. She LOVES going out with the team and after muddy photos manages to come home clean!! They really go above and beyond in every way and to us, are much more than our dog walkers. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
After over a year of lockdowns and working from home, my dog Carlos had become very protective of me and uncharacteristically aggressive with other dogs, with some inappropriate behaviour. I wanted to re-socialise him and find a dog walking service for when I would have to start going back to the office. From the start the team offered expert advice and guidance - they were happy to take Carlos on as a case. Carlos instantly fell in love with Gayle and Ali and was so excited whenever they came to take him. He always returns well exercised and happy. He was true to form with other dogs at first and wore a muzzle to avoid any incidents but after about 6 weeks he no longer needed the muzzle and is now much calmer and social with other dogs (even whole males). On a practical point, I appreciate the booking flexibility and ability to change times/ days to fit around our ever changing work schedule. The boarding services are also great. Many thanks from me & Carlos team 😊
I love that I’ve found someone who takes such good care of my dogs. Gayle is brilliant with both of them. She really cares and gets to know their personalities. Both dogs are always super excited to see her for their weekly walk and are returned happy and ready for a good nap! Gayle also takes our dogs for boarding, and even though one of our dogs has separation anxiety he always has a great time when he stays with her.
Gayle and the team are absolutely fantastic, their love for the dogs and taking good care of them means we always know our dog Monty is in safe hands. He always enjoys his time with them and comes back exhausted! We feel so grateful to have found Gayle!
Gayle and her team are so caring, reliable and professional. Our Labrador has weekly walks and she comes back pleasantly exhausted and stimulated, which is so satisfying. Being a busy family we often call upon Gayle when we need help with last minute dog walks or to arrange boarding and she goes above and beyond to help us out which we are forever grateful. Luna ( Our lab) is so excited to see the Who's Walking Me Team, even sitting waiting at the front window for Gayle or Ali to pick her up, her excitement is huge testament to the fun and care she receives and we would thoroughly recommend Gayle and her team for all dog walking and boarding needs.
Have taken great care of our Lab for the past few years, always give extra care and attention - than you guys!
Gayle. Is. Amazing!! I honestly can't reccomend her enough! She is friendly, professional and really takes time to get to know you and your dog. We had difficulties with our pup and separation anxiety and Gayle has supported us the whole way by adapting plans and thinking of new ways to support her. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares about the dogs she walks (the feeling is VERY much mutual) and I feel so happy knowing my pup is safe with her. We are very grateful to have found Gayle and 'Who's Walking Me' - Thank you for everything! 😊
Gayle, Ali and Steve have looked after our dog since a puppy to now (2 years later) from puppy visits (really needed!), puppy walks, half daycare to her daily walks now and she also boards with Gayle and Steve. Always on hand, even for last minute walks! Wouldn’t consider any other walker! If you want someone who will genuinely love and care for your pup, it has to be Whoswalkingme!
Fantastic service. Thank you very much. Will use again
Natalie is simply outstanding, and the other reviews reflect that as well. She’s a genuine animal lover, and my two boys (cats) can sense it right away. One of them is particularly skittish, but he’s completely at ease with Natalie, which says so much about her care and approach. Leaving your pets behind while you’re on holiday can be tough, but Natalie makes it so much easier. She keeps me regularly updated and clearly enjoys spending time with my boys. Her dedication and love for animals really shine through and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Natalie was brilliant with our cat Dave, who she looked after when we were on holiday for a week recently. I could tell from the updates and pictures that Natalie sent us, that Dave was very happy, enjoying lots of cuddles! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
As soon as I met Natalie I knew she was someone I could trust. One of my cats is very shy and I must admit I was worried that she would be lonely but Natalie sent me pictures and videos of Tilly purring and making a fuss of her on her very first visit. Natalie sent me lots of pictures/updates throughout the four days that I was away and each time both cats looked extremely content, this made a big difference and I soon stopped worrying about them. Natalie was brilliant. I would not hesitate in recommending her and would absolutely have her look after my cats again. Thank you Natalie.
What a compassionate and delightful, friendly individual Natalie is! We have used her pet sitting service a good few times now for our 3 pooches and she always sends pics and updates each time. Recently we went away to Rome for 3 nights and unfortunately for Natalie (and us) we had a water leak in the kitchen the day before we were due home but due to Natalie’s quick response we weren’t flooded! Forever in debt - thanks Natalie. I would 1000% recommend this very enthusiastic, animal loving lovely lady indeed 👍😁
Natalie took very good care of our cat, we were very happy with her services. She sent regular updates and we could see that our kitty was happily purring and playing while Natalie was with him. I would highly recommend her!
Natalie is brilliant at what she does. She has been visiting my puppy for the last four months and my puppy loves her! She sends lots of updates and photos and is very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.
Natalie gave us a very good first impression when we met her an she has proven that she is an excellent professional! She took care of our birds when we were away, keeping us posted all the time and sent us many pictures making us feel very relaxed and happy! :) Highly recommend!
Natalie is amazing, highly recommend. Natalie has been looking after our cat whilst we’ve been away several times and we trust her absolutely. Cat is always happier as a result
Natalie is a wonderful pet sitter who took amazing care of our cat while we were on holiday. Her introductory meet and greet is a great service as she took the time to get to know our cat and her requirements. Our cat took to Natalie instantly and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that our cat was being very well taken care of. We highly recommend the Four Legged Cuddle Club and will be asking Natalie to look after our cat whenever we are away!
Natalie has been absolutely brilliant with our excitable golden girl. She treats her with such kindness and has been a real asset with her on lead training! She is very professional, flexible and dedicated … even in the pouring rain! Honey loves her to pieces - Highly recommend! 🐾 …
We entrusted Short Legs Dog Care to look after our Cavapoo Freddie on our wedding day and we were delighted with the entire service. Both Chris and Trish were lovely people and meticulous in their approach. On the day, Freddie warmed to Trish instantly - the freshly prepared roast chicken and promise of multiple walkies was never going to fail! Trish was punctual yet flexible and was very relaxed in meeting our needs to ensure we could enjoy our wedding to the maximum without any unnecessary worry. Thank you to both of you - would definitely recommend! Alex and Sorroka
What can we say about Chris she was absolutely amazing with our pup Polly on our wedding day. Polly is quite reactive and overexcited and Chris handled her perfectly throughout our day. We cannot reccomend Chris enough! Polly loved her 💕 …
Trish looked after our Cockapoo, Otis, throughout our wedding day. She was wonderful with him. He can be a little nervy and awkward but she took great care with him, did exactly what we asked and Otis had a new best friend by the end of the day. He even met up with Chris and another dog from a different wedding and just had the best time. Trish brought Otis along to our ceremony to be the ring bearer and to join in the wedding photos. She then took him back to our hotel that evening, made sure he was fed and settled. He was so happy and safe. It was totally perfect. We can't thank Trish and Chris enough. Joe & Jo xx
We cannot thank Chris from Short Legs Dog Care enough for the exceptional care she provided for our dogs, Pippin and Gruff, on our wedding day. Pippin and Gruff aren't usually fond of new people, but Chris is truly a dog whisperer. They quickly became best friends, which put us at ease knowing our fur babies were in such capable hands. Chris went above and beyond, helping us include Pippin and Gruff in our ceremony. Despite an unexpected downpour that disrupted our schedule, Chris ensured the dogs were brought down for photos at the reception, capturing beautiful moments we will cherish forever. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for dogs made a significant impact on our special day. We highly recommend Chris and Short Legs Dog Care to anyone looking for outstanding pet care services.
We cannot express how grateful we are to Chris for looking after Poppy on our big day. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Chris was excellent from start to finish; pre-communication was great, we were fully informed of the process and pricing from the start, and Chris kindly arranged to meet Poppy beforehand to make sure we were comfortable with everything. On the day itself, Chris generously picked Poppy up from a family home and later took her to the venue, which took the transport hassle away from us (she also dropped Poppy back off after the wedding)! During the ceremony, Chris seamlessly blended in with the guests and made the entire experience totally stress free for us! Everyone loved having Poppy there, which wouldn't have been possible without you Chris, so THANK YOU! We wholeheartedly recommend Short Legs to anyone looking for a dog chaperone for their wedding. If you want your furry friend to celebrate your big day with you, and if you want to ensure they are in the best possible hands, then Short Legs is the way to go. Thank you for everything, Chris! <3
I couldn’t have asked for a better chaperone for my sometimes sassy / sometimes nervy Italian Greyhound. Chris had everything covered and was the calmest energy for both me (the Bride!) and Neddy the dog. From pick up, to the service, to the drop off the following day, Chris was the ultimate professional and Ned simply adored her. Thank you Chris for being such a special part of our day, ensuring that the real guest of honour was calm and happy throughout! Wouldn’t have been the same without you 😊
Chris is wonderful and I would highly recommend booking her! We asked Chris to look after our dog at home during our wedding day, and then pop over with them for photos in the afternoon. She was amazing throughout, great communication beforehand and so lovely too. She did an amazing job in making our dog (and us) feel relaxed and comfortable, and we could tell they'd had a lovely day together! Chris is a real pro; she is trustworthy, considerate, patient, and truly loves what she does. Thank you so much for everything Chris, it was such a special moment to be able to have wedding photos with our little fur baby and it wouldn't have been possible without you.
Thank you Chris & Trish! Trish looked after our Cavapoo for a full day for our wedding last month at Eastington park and honestly so pleased with the service! For peace of mind we knew our fur baby was being fully taken care of, she was our ring bearer so managed to be part of our big day but at the same time she had the space and attention she needed. Highly recommend, Thank you!
Chris looked after two of our dogs at the Matara Centre last month for our wedding. She was great every step of the way, from organising and communicating before the wedding about the various needs of our dogs and our expectations to how well she worked with Matara and our Photographer Lee Hawley. We couldn't have made a better decision choosing Chris to look after our dogs, she kept them relaxed and reacted to their needs which gave us one less issue to worry about on our big day! Would most definitely recommend her services!
We can’t thanks Chris enough for looking after our Milo on our big day. It was amazing to have him there with us and having Chris took the stress away for us and our guests. Communication was fab as Chris was always responsive. Milo also spent the night with Chris to allow us the freedom to enjoy the whole wedding! If you want your pup at your wedding, we would highly recommend Chris!
Love love love sending our dog to Happy Paws, it means we can enjoy our holidays even more because we know that he is having the best time ever. Marian sends daily photos to so we can see what a fabulous time he's having, either in front of the wood burner in the winter or in the doggy paddling pool in the summer. I just wish Happy Paws did human holidays!! Just brilliant.
They were lovely people, Kept Ned safe and took him for lovely long walks. He had a massive doggy grin when we picked him up! I’d definitely recommend 😃 …
Chris has been extremely helpful with our Springer Spaniel Buddy. We’ve worked with him closely for a number of months and have made a ton of progress in lots of areas. Things were really difficult before we started working with Chris and it is a massive relief to be in a much better place now and have a lot of the negative behaviours under control. Chris was very professional and very effective. I am very grateful for the work he has done and could not recommend him more highly.
Chris has been doing training with me and Freddie for just over 2 months now. He is amazing with Freddie who gets so excited to see him each week! Chris really knows his stuff and is happy to adapt each session to whatever you need which has been great as we have worked on issues that have cropped up in a timely way. Would definitely recommend. Freddie is going to be joining Chris and Becs for doggy day care soon and we can’t wait as I know he will be in safe hands and have an absolute ball 😊
I have been having 1 2 1 sessions with Chris for my staffie pup. We got her at 8 weeks old and my older dog didn't take to her. I asked Chris for help when my pup turned 13 weeks and he has been amazing. My pup is now 20 weeks old and my 2 dogs get along brilliantly. Chris has showed me how to train my pup as well, she is coming on amazingly. He really is very good and knows his stuff. I highly recommend Chris if you need any help with training.
After making enquires to multiple dog trainers for our dog Henri, Chris was the most prompt to respond. Chris is a kind and approachable person who is instantly able to put you and your animal at ease. His training was suitable, adaptable and conducted in easy to follow lessons for both owner and animal. Nothing seemed to much to ask from Chris and he was always willing to be contacted at any time for advice after lessons. It is clear from the outset that Chris loves the job he does and it really shows.
Chris has been helping me and my dog Woody to overcome his separation anxiety and improve recall. I am very pleased with the results and Woody loves Chris. Chris has a lovely, calm manner and has been very flexible with session times and location. I would highly recommend.
I had 3 sessions with Chris and learnt that some of the issues were caused by me giving mixed signals to my puppy Indie. Chris has a really calm nature and positive approach. My main problem was with Indie and my 2 cats. Chris only got to meet Meggie but he could see how stressed out she was, my other cat mostly hides whilst Indie is around. It's still work in progress but I can now pick Meggie, and Bella up in front of Indie without her jumping and trying to grab them. Chris you'll be pleased to hear we had a breakthrough this morning, Meggie and Indie were both on the bed with me for a couple of hours. That's the 1st time in about 5 months, I was over the moon. We have continued to train and she's now playing fetch with only 1 ball and will drop it right at our feet. Chris you were a star and we can't thank you enough.
We were having issues with our dog Hari's anxiety and reactions around people. Chris spoke to me at length on the phone to find out Hari's background as a rescue and to assess how he could help. After just one session we were able to understand more about Hari's behaviour and implement some key learning to start making immediate progress. After a few more sessions with Chris we are thrilled to see Hari's confidence growing and having much less reaction. We've also decreased the "safety zone" as Hari is becoming more comfortable in closer proximity, in most cases. I just want to say a big thank you to Chris, for all of your help and advice, we couldn't have turned things around without your training. We feel so much more confident and in control, which obviously we know is helping Hari too.
Our Nicole absolutely loves her time in day care every week. Chris & Becs are lovely people and offer fantastic services. We had a 121 training course with Chris and he has patiently helped us get to the best solution. Also Bec's grooming is amazing and professional as well! Can't recommend enough!!!
We worked with Chris when we got our Puppy, Delilah. We did 6, 1-2-1 sessions with him where he helped us with lead walking, obedience training, separation anxiety, meeting/being socialised with other dogs and a lot of other things. Our puppy is now 16 weeks old and we get comments on how friendly and confident she is. I really don't think we could have managed this without Chris. So thanks, Chris!
We recently booked our dogs in with BJ’s as we are going away for Christmas. We unfortunately lost one of our dogs a couple of weeks ago, it was completely unexpected. It was so difficult phoning around and notifying her insurance company, pet plan company and BJ’s but the person I spoke to at BJ’s was amazing! He was lovely to speak to, so understanding and got my bookings changed straight away. Today we received a card from all the staff expressing their sadness for the loss of Lola, we weren’t expecting this but it was so nice to receive. We haven’t even used BJ’s yet but can see what an amazing and caring bunch they all are
First time back today for doggy day care in around 7months. They have been very patient with me and my 99,000 questions and concerns as he’s always a nervous puppy in new situations. They have been brilliant and my springer spaniel goblin seems to have had his batteries depleted - even his back up reserve pack. We will defo be coming back. Thank you to all the staff looking after my boy. A Personal shout out to Dave who faced my non stop day of questions. You’ve been great and really set my mind at rest. Thank you team Blaze and Lily.
We brought our three cats to BJ's after we were fb flooded out of our home and had to wait for temporary accommodation. The staff are super friendly and helpful and I was thrilled to see how happy Alfie, Babybea and JJ were after their stay. They have settled into our temporary home really well. I have no hesitation in recommending BJ's and I would definitely use again if we go away on holiday.
Amazing kennels, Sid loves going for his holidays there. The staff are fabulous, they understand our boy, and really look after him. Thank you for all you do
Its always a 5 star experience with BJ Pet Resort! I have a Sprocker and a GSD, both love going into day care, playing with the other dogs and being treated like royalty by the members of staff! The facilities are great and always kept to a very high standard. I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else, you can tell the staff here have a real passion for their job and pride themselves on giving the animals the best experience!
First time using bjs and my dog was very happy leaving me and coming out, he got to have 2 lovely swims while he was there. Will be booking again when we go away.
We had to leave our dog on kennels whilst on holiday, something we find hard as he's very much part of the family. To be honest our pooch is a bit pampered and we keep him clean and well groomed. We took him to meet the staff and have a look around, something they openly advertise and it's true, the professionalism and care of the dogs is evident the moment you set foot in the kennels. Knowing that your dog is looked after with heating and air conditioning to make his stay comfortable really helps you to stop worrying, and we took up the chance to give him a couple of agility sessions to make sure he didn't get bored. On picking him up, we where delighted to see they'd kept him clean and groomed and had taken the trouble to even spray him with the nice puppy spray which he is used to. One aspect worth praising the staff for is they really supported and encouraged us to bring the dog in with all his usual bedding and toys, and offered to abide by his normal feeding habits, I can't say for sure they would have followed our long list of daily habits including the two gravy bones he normally gets to settle him when going to bed, but I got the impression they really did care, so can only imagine our little boy settled in with them very quickly. He had no signs of stress when we picked him up and I like that the owner prides himself of animal welfare, definitely worth that little extra and will most certainly use them again. They posted a picture of Charlie enjoying himself having an agility session which is always nice to put us at ease that he was also having a mini holiday!
We came across BJs pet resort by accident after driving past their premises. After some research, we decided to contact them and we are so very pleased we did. We absolutely love this doggy daycare but most importantly our dog loves it! The staff were incredibly caring towards our dog from the moment he arrived, and they created a safe and fun environment for him for his day with them! The facility is clean, and I appreciated the daily updates and photos they provided. Our pup came home happy and tired, and it's evident they prioritised the well-being of each dog in their care. We cannot thank all the staff enough for caring and playing with our pooch. We highly recommended and will be using them again
Thank you for taking care of my Gigi, she is having fun here. The facilities are clean and safe, all staff are lovely, polite and professional and I really appreciate they keep uploading photos in facebook so that I can check my dog’s condition. I feel satisfied with their boarding service and highly recommended to my friends
Always a five star experience. Dropped dog off for his holidays, they make sure both he and we are happy. They aways say he's been a really good boy... not always sure he will have been! Our stubborn little Westie. But we are grateful for the care they give. Would not take him anywhere else. 12 years so far.
Very reliable and flexible pet sitters. Our family have been using them for holiday coverage for many years.
