Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Katrina
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Kim
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!

Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
Chris
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Tarryn
Erin was a great pet sitter who took such good care of little Chino. She was very reliable, kept us up to date with videos/pictures, looked after our home and kept it neat and tidy. She even left a thoughtful gift upon our return and was flexible with our travel plans. We would definitely recommend Erin for anyone looking for a reliable and friendly pet sitter!

I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!

Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Lynne
Deboraj took great care of the apartment and of our goofy unsociable cat. She went out of her way to bring catnip and make friends with Rowan. She communicated often and cared to be as good a house and pet sitter as could be. I can gladly recommend her highly to anyone else looking. Thank you Deborah.
Kellie
Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.

Enjoyable Visit at Ocobo Kennels . Firstly a beautiful drive from Bury St Edmunds through incredible forests for an hour. Kennels are secure and clean. Greeted by the Ladies of the Rescue who walk the dogs on Sundays. Met many sweet dogs. We walked the big field together. Although the one I initially travelled for didn't have a connection with me; I came home with Little Micky !! Thank You Ocobo for taking care of all the Rescue Dogs I Highly Recommend these Kennels.
Been sending my Marvel here for 7 years now he loves it I have never had a problem. Drop him off this morning for 8 days he could not get out the car quick enough. Can go on hoilday and don't have to worry about him
Picked up my dog today and he was very different. Seems very nervous and scared. He’s not eating properly and has lost weight. When we picked him up, he was limping and has continued to do so since. DO NOT leave your dogs here!! Don’t know how they are still open. Another thing, they lost our lead so have now had to buy a new one. They clearly treat dogs terribly.
My little Alfie stayed here last week, came home really poorly with kennel cough. Rang this kennel to inform them of this as there is obviously other dogs staying there and and it's highly contagious, the lady I spoke to was ridiculously rude interrupting me basically calling me a liar they didn't seem interested stating it's our fault he's poorly? Didn't care at all and turned siacastic towards the end of the call! I was truly disappointed with this and speaking several times with the vets after he's stopped eating, being sick and coughing up blood they believe it was passed on to him through these kennels as it can take between 5-10 days to show and he would have been there between them times! I will defiantly not being going back again! And would recommend it to my worst enemy!
A lovley place to send your dog. Told me I could ring up anytime while I was in hospital and yeah seems as if my boy is being well looked after 10 outta 10
My young bull terrier was very happy here, came back the same weight and completely unbothered by the experience and I have booked here in again for January. Previously, I sent her to a much more expensive "training" kennels and she came back really thin and unhappy so I am very pleased with Ocobo.
Friendly staff lovely location. Very accommodating Hopefully all will be well. Will update
Doggies boarded for 10 days. Very happy doggies. Well looked after and very happy on collection. Will use again.
Our dog Teddy really likes it here . Friendly staff and large exercise paddock .
My bulldog stayed there twice both times very happy me and my dog.

I could not recommend Chris enough. He went above and beyond for Millie, I received daily updates and consider Chris a friend now. Millie came back more confident and knowing my dog as I do, I can tell she had a better holiday than me. I cannot wait to use Chris’s services again, honestly couldn’t recommend enough. The quality of his services is priceless.
Chris and Norfolk Home Dog Boarding provided excellent care and attention for our elderly Clumber Spaniel, Hazel. The boarding is home from home and Chris provided super care and attention for Hazel's medical needs. We were so pleased to find NHDB and would have no hesitation in recommending them. Hazel enjoyed her 'holidays' with Chris and Ruth over the summer of 2022 but has now sadly left us. Thanks again for all you did for Hazel.
Absolutely fantastic! Loki loves ‘going on holiday’ with Chris! And I love knowing that my boy is in good hands, has fantastic walks to lots of different locations, get regular updates whilst I’m away and generally have a very happy (and sleepy) hound to come back to! Can not recommend highly enough!
Chris at Home Dog Boarding is quite literally a life savor! My relatives in Kings Lynn have 2 standard poodles who they love more than life itself. When they had to go to the hospital with an emergency, I googled and found and cold called Chris at 6am from the US to ask if he could possibly watch their dogs for a few hours or days (TBD). Not only did he say yes, but he made it to their house within 30 minutes of my call, brought the dogs to his home, made 2 visits to their veterinarian to pick up meds and get instructions (one of their pups has seizures), and is keeping them for 5 days! His stepping up in the clutch enabled my family to prioritize their health without worrying about their beloved dogs, and prevented the dogs from any harm from being left alone. Chris is a gem, I’ve spoken to him several times and he has been beyond responsive, compassionate, responsible, and kind. I honestly can’t find the words to thank him right now! ( incidentally, we live in the United States and I have two dogs ourselves, whom we leave in the care of others when we travel. It’s very difficult to find trustworthy, dependable, compassionate folls who will love and take care of your dogs as you do. Chris is a gem to be treasured by any who need assistance with their dogs in the Kings Lynn area.
Would never take my Labrador any where else. Chris is a top man who contantly reassures you and keeps you up to date when you leave your pet with him. My lab is always happy to stay and always looks happy when I pick him up.
Charlie my labrador, loves his time here and I am really grateful to Chris for looking after him so well for over 5 years now. When I am away I can totally relax knowing Charlie is happy and in safe hands.
We’ve used Chris for many years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Excellent, professional and friendly service that gives us real peace of mind while we’re away.
Great care taken of my dog at very short notice. Would recommend
Bad service.We left our dog for the first time and our last time.Our dog left the place scratches and cuts from other dogs,smelling.Were not happy Norfolk Home Dog Boarding

I have a very nervous large rescue dog who is nervous around men, my Daughter uses this kennels and very happy to tell me about them, Gavin was marvellous with her, she was a happy dog, spotless kennels and large clean runs, I would not take my dog anywhere else
I have used these kennels several times and cannot fault the place! Main thing is that Archie always comes back happy and healthy and Gavin is so accommodating to all urs and ur dogs needs regarding wellbeing and convenience.drop off/pick up times are relaxed and one content dog after stay so what more could u ask for?
Wouldn't take our dog any else. Gavin is very friendly and so helpful and goes out of his way to accommodate. Kennels are immaculately clean, heaters and air con. Our dog enjoys her holidays
This is the third boarding kennels I have used in the area. Denver Kennels are the best in my opinion. My dog has never come home stinking of urine. The kennels are spotlessly clean. I know they work tirelessly to maintain their high standards.The Manager has happily accommodated any of my requests, even at short notice.They have the latest collection time compared to previous kennels I’ve used. They are responsive on WhatsApp if you are travelling a long distance and get held up by traffic/airport. Like many owners, I am very protective about my fur baby and leaving her normally causes me anxiety, but not here as I know the Manager treats his canine guests with love and care. I would definitely not go anywhere else now. P.S. I would like to ask a genuine question of the reviewer calling himself ‘Thomas’. Do you actually own a dog?
Friendly on arrival appeared very caring and knowledgeable however since my dog has been home he has scoofed like he hasn't been fed in days, then repeatedly vomited and is covered in flea bites also appears very nervous when given basic commands. Very concerned will not use this service in the future.
I have 4 Rottweilers and have no concerns or issues with boarding here. Gavin is so helpful and really understands the breed. Always happy!
Well run kennels with air-conditioning in the summer heating in thr winter. Always clean. Gavin looks after our dogs and gives updates.
Absolutely fantastic for my border collie. Gav and his dad are on board with Blu. She loves it with them both and I feel safe knowing she's looked after so well
Barry and Gavin care for their "guest " dogs as their own. All home comforts , spotless accommodation , warm in winter , cooled in summer . large exercise enclosure . Would not go anywhere else- even a 50 mile round trip is worthwhile !
The very best Kennels you can get! The love and dedication they give our dog is beyond words! We have used them for four years several times a year and she now looks forward to her ‘holidays’ in Denver! The owners are also amongst the nicest people you can find! Thank you all there!!

I have used Ashley's for over a year for my two dogs every month. They are well looked after and I have no trouble in leaving them. They go happy and come back happy. The price is very competitive when it includes food. I have no intentions of looking elsewhere. My dogs are happy there and that's all I wish for when I have to leave them.
Friendly staff who always have the dog at heart. They do a lot of charity work for dogs charities too, and throw into the community a lot as well. If you need a kennels I couldn't recommend better! Troy loves it here!!
Easy pick up and drop off, our Dog is always happy when we take him. Great people to deal with :)
Mason loves it here.Always a happy boy.Been going since he was a puppy.
