Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
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!
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.
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
Megan was the perfect house sitter - got lots of updates and pics of my kitty, communicated well, was flexible and left the place spotless! Would definitely ask her to pet sit again!
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
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
David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens. Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us. He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.

It's my 3rd time using Sandy paws and love how good they are with all the dogs. They are very friendly and welcoming. My dog loves staying. I also love that they put up videos of the dogs as it's a comfort to see your dog settled and running around happy 😊. Highly recommend. …
My dogs came home happy and content after their holiday. One of them found her first experience of kennels rather stressful, and was particularly well looked after. I am most impressed by the excellent service.
Roux and Baxter love their weekly daycare trips to Sandy paws on a Tuesday and It’s lovely to know that when we go on holiday our dogs are looked after so well when they are in for boarding. Wouldn’t send our dogs anywhere else. X
Hector loves his time at sandy paws and he is always so excited to see Irene and Jonny. It's so reassuring to have somewhere to leave him when we are away where he is looked after so well and where he is happy.
Once again Meg stayed at Sandy Paws, impeccable service as always, Meg is always well looked after, thank you Jonny & Irene
Our dogs just love going to Sandy paws and we are so happy they are relaxed and very well cared for during their stay.
Johnny and Dougie alway happy to go to sandy paws great service and competitive priced 🐶 …
Great service, pick up & drop back home again after a day running about a massive field with all his pals living their best dog life. Highly recommended.
Ruby and Annie love there doggy daycare days cannot praise and thank you enough Jonny and Irene you just love and care for doggies much appreciated
Daisy absolutely loves Irene & Johnny with being a rescue she just needs that extra bit of love & care which she always gets at Sandy Paws.
Ruth at PetStay is an absolute legend. Every time I’ve needed to book our toller in she’s linked us up with a wonderful carer (same family every time luckily, our dog loves them). She also linked a family members dog up with a carer a week before our wedding when there were no other options which saved the day. Fab service and can’t praise enough 😊
Could not recommend Petstay or Ruth highly enough. Immediately felt at ease during our first meeting with Ruth and Ann & Les. It is very obvious they love dogs and Max could sense that too as was not bothered when we left him. Regularly updated with photos & videos of his adventures. Max had a ball. He can't wait for his next visit in a few weeks.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. Pet Stay said they could cover a weekend for me. Booked to meet a carer - I had to take a day annual leave because the carer’s availability was so limited. Pet Stay cancelled this at short notice. They then rebooked me with someone else. This was also then cancelled. Spent a month wasting time emailing back and forth in total. This seems like a really disorganised and unreliable company - I’d not trust them with my dog.
No pet sitter availability in EH5/6/7/8/9 Post codes.
Fantastic service, I will be using Petstay for my dogs whenever I’m out of town.
My dogs didn't even want to come home with me, highly recommend!
Our gang of 4 cats Jack, Tink, Bella and Barney stayed with Laurie at Maple House Cattery just recently. The service we received and the care and attention my cats were given was just amazing from the start. Laurie has been extremely helpful and professional, inviting me to visit the cattery before booking to see the facilities and has been very understanding of everyones needs, including my own - THANK YOU!. Tink is a very nervous traveller (had a wee accident on route) and Jack requires medication twice a day but neither was a problem to Laurie who helped me clean Tink up on arrival and was more than happy to administer Jacks medication as needed. Bella was very nervous and stressed for the first day but Laurie soon had her coming out to say hello. We received an inital update and daily pictures, which was fantastic to see how well they were all settling in....some maybe enjoying the lovely cosy beds Laurie provides a little to much 😁. The cattery is kept impeccably clean. The facilities are new and warm with the cats getting out daily in a secure area for play time. We will most definitely call on Laurie at Maple House Cattery again and would without question recommended to anyone else looking for cat boarding facilities. We truly felt our cats were cared for and engaged with throughout their stay - this is not just your regular cat boarding facility! So thankful of your understanding through a difficult time for us and the time you have taken to look after our gang. Massive thank you to Laurie and all at Maple House Cattery 😻
Our boys had their first stay ever in a cattery. We are so glad that we chose Maple House. The boys settled in straight away and we were spoilt with photos & updates each day. Nothing was too much trouble for Laurie & we were very impressed with the cleanliness & warmth of the place. Can’t recommend them highly enough a safe & cosy home away from home.
We have used Maple House regularly since getting our (first) kitten and really feel like we have found the best we could have hoped for. Brilliant communication, always accommodating and plenty pictures and updates of play time. Can not recommend highly enough.
Had our cat Hamish stay here recently from Monday-Friday. Hamish was incredibly well looked after and Laurie kept us up to date regarding his eating etc. We also got plenty photos which was fab as we could see he was happy! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Very friendly service and nothing is too much hassle communication was great. The cattery itself is spotless and very well equipped and a fab size.
This was the first time I’ve ever put my fur babies into a cattery and I was slightly apprehensive 😕 But Maple house cattery didn’t disappoint and done a marvellous job caring and interacting with Grogu and Floki I highly recommend them and will certainly use them in the future 🥰 …
Laurie and her team are amazing. I needed my cat looked after whilst I moved and they were very accommodating. I got regular updates and pictures of him whilst he was in their care. Highly recommend and will use again. Thank you for taking such good care of my wee Mr T 🐈💕
Our cat loved her stay at Maple House and we couldn't recommend them enough! Not only did our cat have a fantastic time, but we really appreciated the updates and photos we received during her stay. Will be using Maple House again!
Our cat had a super stay at Maple House. We got regular updates on how she was settling in and the drop off and pick ups were very friendly. I would highly recommend Maple House. It is new, clean and fresh and the area your cat has to live in is very well equipped. 🐾 …
Our half Siamese cat who likes company and is very inquisitive was very happy at this fantastic Cattery. He received love and attention and was kept warm and snug in high quality modern cubicles. Angus was let out to play in two areas with cat tunnels and toys. The service and efficiency was excellent. We received WhatsApp posts with photos. There was even calm music in background ! I highly recommend Maple House and Angus will become a regular customer.
Maple House Cattery looked after our Zinc when we were away for a period of 3 weeks, from start to finish they were very informative, and kept us up to date mostly every day with pictures or information on how our cat was, which helped us both with being away for so long, we were so thankful. For future occasions we will most definetely be using their service and would recommend this 100% to anybody else thinking about it and willing to use this facility. No faults or complaints, we are both very appreciative of the time being taken to look after Zinc, A big thank you to Maple House Cattery.
Naomi's service has been a godsend to us after my husband suffered a stroke earlier this year. It has been a great help to know our dogs are looked after and walked. The dogs love going to the doggy day care 3 times a week .
We used Naomi when we visited Scotland for a few days and had our dog with us. He was only there a few hours but we could tell he was happy and had been busy has he slept all the way back!
We discovered this little gem of a place. Leaving my little 6 month old furbaby for the 1st time I was extremely worried she may fret or not eat but from day 1 Elaine put me at ease & kept me updated with messages and made my little Minnie part of the family showing her lots of love, attention & care. Elaine is such a lovely lady & it’s clear to see she loves her animals infact Minnie was reluctant to leave & tried to go back into her kennel. She’s came out happy & healthy & a little chubbier due to her gravy bone treats. I highly recommend & will be booking again for our next holiday. Thank you so much Elaine I felt like I left her with a family member.
Such a lovely lady, who clearly loves dogs. We had to attend a funeral in Galashiels at short notice and she kindly agreed to look after our dog while we were there. It’s not often you find such generous hearted people. She is a gem and I would highly recommend Arthurshiel Kennrls.
Had a great time with the kittens and looking at the cats. The staff were very helpful when asking any questions
Elaine is without doubt the best place to leave our dogs. They absolutely love to see her and dropping them off I know they are in safe hands, so no longer spend our holidays worrying about them as they've been coming for 5 years now. Darcey and Dakota always remember Elaine and maybe even sulk on coming home as she is so lovely!
Perfect place to leave my GSD, they know the breed and my boy is very well looked after. Totally recommend Arthurshiel if you want a professional kennel to look after your best friend.
Lovely staff and all the animals are really well looked after and loved. Came away with a lovely cat called Cheeky, she's beautiful x
Have used this place for several years now. Adequately priced. The dog seems to be well looked after. Will use again.
Elaine is a gem! My dogs were well looked after, so much so they were happy to go back! 😊 …
My dog is enjoying another stay there while I'm on holiday, always well looked after.
Having lost our 18year old cat and unsure whether to replace her with another moggie, we are being allowed to visit for cat cuddles anytime till a new fur baby comes into our lives!
My dog got ran over
Absolutely amazing. My dog Archie stayed with Borders Boarding for 11 nights and he absolutely loved the place and the staff. The grounds are lovely and peaceful, with beautiful walks, which suits Archie as he can be very nervous with loud noises. Very professional and take on board your dogs' needs. Archie suffers from elbow dysplasia and Neil, and the staff catered to Archies needs regarding his condition. I received daily updates and pictures of Archie which made my holiday more enjoyable knowing Archie was enjoying his holiday and being cared for like home from home. I will always use Boarders Boarding in the future and would definitely recommend it. Thank you for making Archie's holiday and mine enjoyable. I'm looking forward to sending Archie to you again.
We were extremely anxious knowing we had to find a Day and Night Boarding facility for our French Bulldog Puppy and were under no circumstances wanting to put her into kennels. We stumbled across Borders Boarding whilst googling local business and after a half day introduction, booked Bella in for Tuesday Boardings to begin with and get her use to being somewhere other than our home for the day. Bella settled in very quickly and both Neil and James have treated her as if she was their own. Bella had her first overnight weekend stay a few weeks ago and we received regular updates on her progress. Bella is very relaxed, calm and happy every time we collect her, on dropping off she knows the minute we get onto the sweeping drive up to the house where she is going and does a dance in her car seat, super excited. The Boarding facility is a home environment set in a tranquil, peaceful countryside setting which is perfect for Bella, I would highly recommend Neil and James at Borders Boarding to anyone who wishes home comforts and only the best care for their pooch
My boys loved staying with Borders Boarding. They felt right at home from the minute they walked in a real home from home. They had fantastic walks just outside the front door and even a stream to have a dip and with a nice warm place to dry out and sleep what more could they want. Did they miss us, not one bit.
My black lab enjoyed his stay, got on really well with their dogs. Felt really relaxed with picture & video updates throughout the week. Would definitely choose borders boarding as my dogs go to holiday place & highly recommend to anyone looking for a non-kennel stay as the stay is just like home. Thanks again and will definitely book him I on our next holiday abroad.
So pleased we found Borders Boarding. I personally didn’t want to put Bertie into a kennels as he is such a home boy. Borders Boarding offered Bertie a safe, home environment with an abundance of land for him to run around in and us piece of mind knowing he was happy and being so well looked after. I can’t recommend Borders Boarding enough and Bertie can’t wait to stay again.
My 2.5 Yr old labrador adored the 2 resident GSP's. Running and playing all day and snoring his head off in the evenings. I loved the updates and pics and we will be using Borders Boarding again. A knowledgeable and safe haven. Thanks 👍 …
Neil is fantastic with our 3-year old Airedale Terrier, who always has such a great time at Borders Boarding exploring the beautiful contryside and running around the garden with the other dogs. He is very accomodating of our dog's particular needs, such as his daily routine and dietary requirements - he really makes it a home away from home for him! I couldn't recommend Borders Boarding enough!
My 9 year old toy poodle had a great day with Neil at Borders Boarding. She got on great with the resident dogs and really enjoyed all the lovely outdoor space they have to run around in.
Absolutely wonderful people, couldn't fault them. Very friendly and very welcoming would highly recommend them :) Thanks for looking after rocky and I will defo bring him back
A great place for dogs and wonderful hosts to look after your pets!
Excellent kennels in a perfect countryside location. We've used Lesleys kennels for 13yrs as do our own family now too & always come home to happy well exercised dogs🐾 …
Our dogs love here, Lesley love and attention is 2nd to none as for the kennels the are absolutely spectacular and the freedom the dogs have is incredible.
First time we've used Lesley although some of our neighbours have been regulars in the past. Only a weekend away but our dog has come back unfazed by the experience - can't ask for more.
Lindsay lovely and dog very well looked after
Absolutely fantastic boarding kennels Lesley is very committed to providing 5 star care in a fantastic location
Have used these Kennels for years always a great service. The dog really seems to enjoy going there also.
The dogs are so well looked after and get lots of exercise
Excellent kennels
Thanks Adam
Thanks Keith
My dogs Todd, Buck and Stella were in Nnerum for 8 days while we went on holiday. We had photograph updates where I swear, Todd the lurcher was smiling a huge grin on each of the Photos. The others were often seen running around the field in the distance which is usually their modus operandi. Stella the GWP was also caught running alongside the other dogs and it appeared she was playing tag, although she doesn't normally notice other dogs let alone play and chase them. We are delighted with their care and now will relax and take a few more holidays that we thought we couldn't do, once our kids flew the nest. 30/8 - 8/9/24 (check FB photos)
Wonderful kennels with great staff. Was my dogs' first time staying and had a great time. Nice big field for the dogs to play in next to the kennels. Definitely using the kennels again. A+
