Pet Sitters in Hadley Wood

Always a pleasure to go to the hound and the cat! I have personally used them for over 5 years now and have recommended both family and friends! Wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog for grooming or daycare! The best in the business!

I would rate them 0 stars if I could, I don't know how they've accumulated 5* reviews but they are not at all reflective of the experience I had at The Hound & The Cat. My experience with them was short but terrible. I called Eyal at 11:42 to enquire about his services. He sent me a message at 11:49, confirming my appointment for 1st April at 10:30. After checking my schedule, I messaged him again within 10 minutes asking if we can reschedule to 12:00 on 1st of April. He sent the attached message below. As a business owner myself, I would never judge my clients and be so loose with my words. This is unacceptable. How can you trust leaving your precious pet with a person with such little patience, empathy and understanding? I strongly urge you to not use their services as I am genuinely afraid and concerned for all the animals being left in this person's care. If he is so brash, impatient and rude to you, imagine what he's like with your pet.

I took my 16 week old puppy for her 1st groom ...she just loved it here! She knew she was in safe confident hands & has come home looking & smelling gorgeous. I have no problem giving a 5 star rating. I think Clemmie will look forward to coming back for future grooms & also for some doggy sitting when we need to go out. What a lovely couple of dog lovers Eyal & Ayelet are. Thank you both.

Fantastic job on our filthy adopted cat! Very professional and definitely a big animal lover. Much recommended

Absolutely top class grooming and dog boarding. I was a bit worried as it was the first time when I left my dog with anyone for a whole weekend, but I received lots of photos and updates about him. These are very warm and welcoming people and from first moment I could say Rocco felt like being left in safe and playful place. Will definitely be back again-highly recommended.

We took our 1 year old rescue German Shepherd/Husky to be groomed today not knowing how he would react. We were made to feel really welcome from the moment we arrived. Marley was happy to poodle off to be groomed. He came back to us wagging his tail looking and smelling gorgeous. Thank you so much for looking after him and treating him so well. We will see you again soon.

Such a great team and such an amazing groom! She's like a different dog! We have a dog that doesn't like like being clipped or washed very much but they have such a brilliant way with animals! You can see that they truly know what they are doing.

I absolutely love taking my dog here! Marley always looks so wonderful and Eyal and the team are lovely. Don’t hesitate to go here, you won’t regret it! Thanks for everything Eyal x

Excellent grooming service. Eyal was extremely efficient and managed to remove all the knots from our long haired Persian cross by combing and trimming rather than just shaving, as resorted to by other groomers. Reasonably priced and Eyal offered some great tips on how to maintain our cat's fur. Will definitely be taking Tilly here on a regular basis for a fur cut to keep her fur in good condition.

Brought our Cockapoo, Bailey, here a few weeks ago and have been meaning to leave a review. Eyal and Ayelet were so friendly and took the time to establish exactly what we wanted and even invited us to stay while they groomed Bailey. We left them to it and got a call about an hour later to pick him up and were pleasantly surprised at the very reasonable cost. We’ll be using their services from now on

I highly recommend Fiona for both doggy day care and boarding. My puppy, Lacey has been going to Fiona 3 days a week since she was 3 months. Now at 9 months, she still absolutely loves going there! Lacey is always so excited to see Fiona when being dropped off in the morning and she is always happy when I pick her up. She clearly has a great day whenever she is with Fiona. Fiona is amazing with all the dogs and she has really helped me with Lacey’s recall as well as other aspects of puppy training.

Fiona is an amazing dog trainer, super experienced. My Romanian rescue dog , super anxious and not very well responsive to commands when I got him one year ago, has made massive improvements since been walked by Fiona. Fiona is very committed to the well being and development of the dogs she looks after, is extremely reliable and always ready to discuss and try ideas to improve the well being and behaviour of the dogs she cares for. She really cares about her dogs and they are really responsive to the love and care they receive!

Fiona is truly wonderful with Poppy. From being a quite nervous dog when she started she is now very happy to see Fiona and all the other lovely dogs she looks after. Fiona is so kind and caring and is always on hand to help with ideas and strategies for continued training. We are so pleased to have found somewhere for Poppy where we know she is in the best possible hands - a real home from home. Rachel

Fiona has been looking after and walking 5 year old Lily since she was only a few months old. Lily is always so happy to see her when she collects her for walks, and runs down the driveway when we drop her off on her holidays! Delighted to recommend Fiona, Lily is always very well cared for when she is with her.

My dog goes to Fiona every week. He drags me out of the car and down her driveway every week. I know he's always well looked after and well walked. When he comes home he collapses and can barely eat he's so tired. We also board him with Fiona at Happidogs when we go on holiday. And we're always relaxed knowing that he's going to be happy and well looked after.

Fiona’s been looking after Rosie, our 9 year old Springer, for over two years. She takes her on great walks and Rosie always comes back happy and well exercised. When we go on holiday we know that she is going to be well cared for and kept contented and stimulated in a family home. Very happy to recommend!

I sometimes join Fiona on her walks and I am always blown away by the fact the dogs always have a great time and also extremely well behaved. if I had a dog I would definitely use Fiona! :)

Best place for doggies been taking my pooch for years when I go on holiday or he goes on walks very caring ❤

Fiona has a great understanding of dogs. She helped us out and we are very grateful. We would recommend her services

Great place for pups, Fiona takes fantastic care of the dogs! I never worry when I leave my dog with her.

Halo Dogs is an amazing daycare! Our Beagle Cookie has been going there for years now, on a weekly basis, and seems to love it. The midday update email with photo is much appreciated, and you can see the dogs having so much fun! Would definitely recommend! People working at Halo Dogs are also lovely.

We have been sending our Great Dane, Xena to Halo Dogs when she was six months old. Sufficed to say she absolutely loves it and appears to prefer the team there over us, her actual owners! Normally she woofs at anyone and everyone who comes to the front door, but with Halo she greats them with a wagging tail and leaves without any noise. Halo provide an excellent service and are one of the only few daycares that serves central London. They listen and are attentive. We have recommended Halo to many other dog owners and will continue to do so.

If your dog had a car they would drive here and never leave. Halo is amazing. Our dog absolutely loves it. Loads and loads of outdoor space, facilities, and other dogs to play with. And if they want to chill out there is plenty of space for them to do that too. The staff are brilliant. They are all not only dog experts but more importantly dog lovers! It's a proper personalised experience for the dog - they all know our dog thoroughly and are always chatting about her. It's a door to door service and we have never felt more confident than when the Halo van arrives! Some people say it's a bit expensive. It isn't. It's great value for money. They are at the farm all day, they have two walks a day, the area is massive, they get treats and interaction all day, AND they are picked up and dropped off (even if you're not in). Complete peace of mind. 100% worth it. Book a free introduction day - take your dog and meet everyone there and see for yourself!

My miniature bull terrier Stella has been going to Halo at least once a week (and sometimes more if she’s lucky) since February and honestly cannot imagine her life without Halo. We get daily pictures and a personalised report updating us on her progress. They even have a vet nurse called Ros on staff who has called to check up on Stella once when she was ‘off sick’ :). Everyone is so lovely and Stella is always super happy to get picked up and go spend the day at the farm. WE LOVE HALO ❤️

I have being sending Barney to Halo Dogs for around 2 years, and trust me when I say if Barney didn't like it he wouldn't go. The team at HALO are amazing and look after Barney as though he was their own, when Barney comes back from Day School I can just tell he has had a fun actioned packed fun day. I am also really appreciative of the pick up and drop off service from my home or my work place, the ease of the booking system and the the general organisation of how Halo Dogs runs. Barney and I highly recommend Halo, while you dog is living their best life, you can rest assure that your dog will be in very safe and caring hands.

Excellent day care centre and a perfect holiday retreat when we’re away. Bella absolutely loves this place The staff are friendly polite and adore the dogs they care for. The facilities are excellent for hot cold and wet weather. Activities are varied and stimulating. The flexibility of the booking service on line works perfectly Our thanks go to everyone at Halo

Halo were amazing, and an absolute saviour for me and my puppy. Frankie went to Halo from the age of 6 months for about 8 months, until we moved out of London. We visited the daycare facilities before we committed to anything, just to see how Frankie got on and so I could check out where Frankie would be when he was there. There was plenty of space, both indoors and outdoors - space for quiet nap time, and lots of space for running around and enrichment and agility activities. The dogs were also taken out on walks as there was plenty of space around, so Frankie was able to burn off all that crazy puppy energy during the day! He practically ran out the door on his daycare days and loved Bruno, who came to pick him up a couple of times a week. He always came back tired which was the sign of a good day. They also sent little pupdates and photos during the day so you knew what he’d been getting up to. Having spoken to Bruno and Justin on a couple of occasions when Frankie was slightly challenging…they were super helpful and gave some really sound advice. I knew Frankie was in very good hands on the days he was there. He is a very social dog so loved playing with his puppy pals, and I also recommended Halo to a couple of friends with dogs of a similar age so he sometimes had some friendly faces to mess around with. The facilities and all the staff were excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them as a daycare. They were super easy to manage online - you could book, cancel and pay for it all online so minimum hassle. Frankie and I moved out of London which was the only reason we left, but not before they gave him a special little birthday celebration and a fun last day. Thanks Halo, you were and Frankie and I were so grateful for your help in those challenging, early puppy days!

Our 13 year old Irish Terrier Bella has been going to Halo Dogs on and off for the past 10 years or so and we couldn’t be happier with the care they offer! Doggie day care isn’t cheap but Halo are very competitive and offer so much for the price. The fact they collect and drop off makes everything so much easier for us and their facilities and location are second to none! There is loads of outdoor space and lovely cosy inside areas too - I often think I’d love to spend the day there! The guys at Halo all seem to genuinely love our dogs and we get updates through the day and they listen carefully to any individual concerns or special requests. Bella absolutely loves going to Halo - think she’d rather be there than with us - always desperate to get into the van and it’s a great feeling to know your dog is happy! I really couldn’t recommend Justin and his team enough!

Our dog Barlet has been going to Halo since he was about 4 months old. He's always excited to get picked up and head off to the farm. He's gone to their daycare regularly and lately done a few long overnight stays. We always used to worry about what to do with B while on holiday, but now we happily leave him at Halo and know he'll have a great time. The updates really help as well, especially when he's on his own holiday at the farm. The convenience of him being picked up and dropped off makes all the difference as well. Thanks to Justin and everyone at Halo!

Our Flash gives more affection to the Halo crew than he does us! Seriously, that’s a good sign. He’s picked up and can’t wait to go. We get lunchtime updates and he clearly absolutely loves it there. We also have piece of mind that when we’re on holiday, he’s well looked after and happy. Halo isn’t cheap but it’s the best place for our boy.

Aurora is a fantastic walker. She really cares about dogs and Rhia was clearly very happy with her walks. I felt totally secure with her service. Aurora is great with communication and send great pictures. I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future!

I'm very happy with Aurora's help to look after Bobby, my cat, for almost a week. She was very thorough and knowledgeable with good experience taking care of pets. I love that she send daily pictures and updates, she even asked if I need my plants to be watered! Highly recommended and I'll use her service again, no doubt!

Aurora comes to walk my energetic husky Mischa for me every now and then - and Mischa is delighted every time! Aurora takes wonderful care of her, sending me tonnes of pictures of their adventures together, and is 100% reliable. She is even great for last-minute appointments (so long as she can squeeze us in) and is always very communicative. Would recommend her services to anyone!

Aurora is a very experienced, knowledgeable and capable pet sitter. She takes time to get to know you and your pet(s), and really cares deeply about their wellbeing. I would 100% recommend Aurora to anyone who wants to know that their beloved pet is in the best care possible. Thanks Aurora!

Aurora has looked after my cat a few times when I’ve been away. She is trustworthy and I feel she really cares about him. She understands that a cat needs love and attention just as much as they need food and water. I can enjoy going on holiday knowing that my companion is being well looked after.

Aurora took care of our Boston Terrier and Vizsla for one night, and we couldn’t be happier! She has awesome knowledge, especially she knew how to work with our energetic Vizsla. Super responsible, she follows all safety rules, ensuring our dogs were secure and comfortable. Aurora is also very communicative, competent, and incredibly nice. She is not just a sitter, she is a dog expert. Highly recommend!

Aurora was great with our springer spaniel. Really conscientious and obvious she loves animals. Great communication and lots of cute photo updates!Will definitely be using Aurora again. Thanks, Aurora

Aurora is absolutely amazing. She came over to meet my cat, Pigeon, before taking on the job to make sure they both got on and she knew where everything was. Then, she was super thorough and asked for lots of details about Pigeon and her health and who our vets were etc. incase of any issues when she was cat sitting. This was massively appreciated and let me know Aurora was an amazing choice as cat-sitter! I got pictures of pigeon when I was away so I knew everything was okay and I felt so reassured the whole time which meant I could really enjoy myself. I wouldn't hesitate to use Aurora for cat-sitting again, and can't recommend others do the same!! And see attached for some lovely pics of Pigeon and Aurora!

Aurora took really good care of my Penelope (cat) when I had to go away urgently. They got on instantly so I knew she would be in great company. I received an update and photos everyday which was a great part of the service and Aurora kept me updated on anything else that occurred during the 2 weeks. I could not be happier with the service and I know Penelope was really looked after. I will definitely be using Aurora's services in the future and will recommend to family and friends.

Our cockapoo has been going to Aurora since April 2021 (when he was about 14 weeks old) for daycare 2-3 times a week and overnights, and he couldn’t be happier! Aurora, Diego and her dogs are his second family - they’ve taken such good care of him, I really don’t know what we would do without her. Even since we moved out of the area last month, we still send him for overnights because it’s such a comfort to know he’s somewhere where he’s loved and looked after. We have also sent him for longer periods when we have been away on holiday and she’s been great. She is always very reliable, communicative and really knows how to take care of animals. Do not hesitate to book, but be warned, your dog may have a new favourite!

Jeanette has looked after our 2 guinea pigs twice already this year and we cannot recommend the Ranch highly enough. Guinea pigs were well-looked after, nails trimmed and even video links of them playing (which the kids enjoyed watching when we said the guinea pigs were staying in their hotel too). Have already booked again - 5/5 customer service too!

Jeanette was so lovely and gave us lots of advice for keeping our Guinea Pigs happy. They have a spacious play area and Jeanette even set up a livestream so that we could watch our Guinea pigs having their fun. I can't say enough good things and your pets will enjoy their stay :)

My partner and I left our rabbit for 2 weeks whist we went on holiday. He was really well taken care of, and we received videos/pictures whilst we were gone to show how he was doing. Jeanette was very accommodating too re: drop off and pick up. Can't recommend enough if you want somewhere safe and friendly to board your furry ones whilst away!

My three rats stayed for over a week and I was pretty nervous about leaving them for the first time. I really didn't need to be... they had the best time! Homemade porridge for breakfast, warm almond milk, free range time out of the cage and lots of love and attention. Jeanette kept me informed with photos and messages which i really appreciated. They will be staying again over Christmas and i feel completely at ease about it now. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies!

Boarded our rats here for 10 days. They all seemed to have had a great time, updates regularly and videos with attached music. They were all very happy when I picked them up. The lady running the service was very nice. They had play time in a rat space with things to climb on etc.. will definitely be using again in the future.

We have used them couple of times and can't be more grateful of how good my rats have been looked after. If you need a place where to take your rodent pets you can trust they will be In the best hands.

Jeanette and Jacob looked after my hedgehog sammy for a few weeks when I went abroad. I was so happy to find them as they’re very knowledgeable about pets including exotic pets like my hedgehog. They sent regular updates and sweet photos showing Sammy was happy and safe. I definitely recommend the rodent Ranch if you are looking for someone to look after your pet.

An incredible service for animals. I had left my Guinea pigs gizmo and furgy with Jeanette while we went on holiday and when we returned he was in great health. Even had more shine to the coat! A really caring environment, and confidence in a good home when away.

We are so happy with how they treated our guinea pigs (Nerina, Nocciolina and Gingerina) they provided an amazing service and they always sent photos and videos every few days! Highly recommended! Thank you for everything!xxx

Chilli the parrot and Lennie the rabbit love going to The Rodent Ranch! I have complete peace of mind while we are away and know my pets will be lovingly cared for. My boys give The Rodent Ranch 5 out of 5 stars!

Very good! Was nervous leaving him the first time but I trust them a lot :) Also gave me good tips that helped me more than trainers did! Would recommend.

Not sure what we would do without Amanda's help. Simple as that really! Thanks for everything Andy, Georgia, Rio and Vienna x
