Pet Sitters in Peterculter

Coalford are such fantastic kennels. We were a bit apprehensive about leaving them, as I’m sure any dog owner is the first time, and they’d never really been away from home without us before. We did a visit a few weeks prior to their stay, met the owners and had a tour of the facilities with our dogs. However, there was no need to be apprehensive, as they were extremely well looked after. We got an update with some photos after 24 hours to let us know how they were getting on (they were doing well) which was really appreciated and put us at ease. The facilities are really clean and not like any other kennels I’ve seen before, they’re got an individual outdoor run that can be covered and an inside area that’s more like a small utility room with an infrared heater and beds. The owners are brilliant with the dogs, they took the time to learn their commands and get to know their quirks and routines. The outside area is secure and filled with fun things for the dogs to do on the multiple walks they get every day. There’s also an inside area if the weather is bad. We arrived a day early to pick them up, and the dogs weren’t even at the gate until they heard our voices. Of course, they were extremely happy to see us and to get home, but it seemed like they had as good a time as they could have.

Fantastic kennels with beautiful grounds for the dogs to enjoy. Alan goes above and beyond to make sure our furries are happy 10/10!

Lovely quiet spot with excellent facilities and care for the dogs. Owners are very friendly and we were very happy to leave the dog here for a few days while on holiday.

Perfection.. home from home for the pups.. exceptional service and friendly owners

Clean, confortable kennels. The owners take great care of the dogs.

Great location, our dogs will b there in September hopefully

Not many kennels so little availability at short notice

Where would we be without Shona. Luna stayed with her last year and adored it... Shona then picked luna up from our wedding recently and once again went above and beyond. We will forever be grateful and will always use Shona for dog sitting if we are ever away or ever in need of someone. Shona - you are a diamond

Shona...how can we thank you! We couldn't have picked a better person to drive our two beloved Pugs from Aberden to London Heathrow for their big journey back to our home in Doha, Qatar. Shona was very organised, timely, personable and kept me updated and at ease during their entire journey. She sent me lovely vidoes and photos. I never worried when they were in her care as I knew at heart she is a true animal lover and could tell she genuinely cared for our dogs. She liased well with our export company at LHR which took pressure and stress away from me. It has meant alot to us to have our dogs (one elderly) treated so well on such an arduous journey. Thank you Shona!

Our dog stayed with Shona for 18 days this summer and it was nice to see her looking healthy and calm on collection. We left our dog with Shona before for various periods of time. The drop off and pick up times are always suitable for us and our travel plans, which is very helpful. Thank you very much for taking a good care of Lola!

I have used kennel in the past and my dog never came out of it looking happy. This has definitely changed since I found Shona - he is happy to leave me and always comes back home cheerful and in a great shape. Shona is great with dogs, she takes them for a long river/forest walks and let them play in her garden once they are home. I recommend this service from the bottom of my hearth to all dog owners

Wouldn't find a better place or a better person to take care of my pet. Shona is just perfect with dogs! She's so friendly and calm, they immediately respond and trust her guidance. It's the most reliable service one can hope for.

I am so happy that we found Shona to take care of our 11years dog Toto during vacation time. She is a very kind person, has a good understanding of dogs and their habits, regularly sharing photos and videos, so you feel connected with your pet even you are miles away. It feels like our dog had a great vacation too, he is happy and healthy after being one month without us :) Highly recommended Shona if you need professional whom you can trust!!!

My Pug chase loves to visit with Shona. We board with her throughout the year and chase is always happy and content when we pick him up. He really enjoys the walks with the other dogs, we know because Shona always sends us video clips of their adventures. Highly recommend her.

We are very grateful for the service Shona provides for our dog, Cookie for the past 18 months. Shona takes Cookie for a regular walks and also home boarding when we are away. Cookie has develped a special bond with Shona. We are very happy and thankful for the service she provides us.

Genuinely a five star service: We are absolutely thrilled with the service we receive from Shona at Aberdeen Pet Services, from the very first visit, I had a really good sense of how calming she would be for our highly strung but loving cavapoo. Before we met Shona I was extremely concerned about leaving Hamish with anyone, he is a nervous dog and enjoys being part of a family and being cuddled, we couldn’t even consider kennels for him and by luck we found the perfect solution. Reliable, friendly and extremely flexible, we wouldn’t consider anyone else. Hamish always comes home, happy and healthy, well exercised and well fed, what more could a dog need 😊

We moved our 4 dogs & 3 cats from Scotland to Morocco, Shona was a huge help In helping with both transportation & going through the customs in 3 countries, but as an animal lover also she cares. and would recommend her services. I cannot thank Shona enough for her help :-)

I'm happy with all of tillyoch's help, looking after my 6 month old kitten Penny- very nice place, good location and fair prices. Helpful animal loving staff. Michael was vey flexible & accommodating. I will definately use Tillyoch Pet Resort again for Penny, when i go on holiday. LOTS OF HAPPY CONTENTED CATS SUNBATHING AT TILLYOCH- Thank you to all of the staff for looking after my kitten- she came home very happy. Guy.

5 star kennel and 5 star treatment from dedicated and friendly owners. Very highly recommended

love it.

Alan had our two dogs Lucas and Toffee for 10 day. Was like a little holiday for them, a home away from home. I would totally recommend for your furbabies.

I phoned at ladt minute to take my dog as I had to attend a meeting next day in Livingston at short notice. He luckily had a space as he is restricted to the amount of dogs he can have. I dropped Minnie our 12year old Yorkshire Terrier off with him at 7am. Picked her up at 6.30pm same day she was happy obviously did not miss me one bit I was very happy with Alan's srrvice and would not hesitate to use him again. His fees are more than reasonable.

This is definitely the best dog boarder/ day carer in Aberdeen. Great service, dogs come home looking happy and healthy.

Alan was unfortunately too full but he sent me a list of other licensed places to try. Top man.

He is a lovely man and my dog likes him woof woof woof

Had not boarded my cat and ferrets here for a few years and was surprised to see how run down the place looked this time round. During the handover, the lady did not know what to house my 2 ferrets in or what to feed them and I was unhappy that they did not have accommodation ready for receiving them. I offered to take them through and get them set up after she also said she wasn’t used to ferrets but she declined. I did not feel confident leaving them but was dropping them off on route to my holiday and so felt committed to doing so. On return, I was advised my female ferret had passed away but was assured that there had been no problems during the stay but on returning home, my male ferret was so thin and emaciated that he was falling over and unable to stand up. I took him to the vet and they advised that he had either not been fed or had been fed the wrong thing. Very distressing experience and I would not recommend this place and will not return.

I don't even know where to start... When we dropped our cat off there was no one there to receive us, we were waiting for around 20 mins. The receptionist was cold and uninterested. A week later when we came to collect, again we were left waiting half an hour for an employee to arrive and a further 15 mins waiting for said employee to retrieve our cat (it seems like the cats are left unattended when there's no customers). We were then told to come through to the enclosure, as our cat was refusing to come out. We were shocked to see the poor conditions our cat was being held in. It was a cold concrete floor with no bed or food visible, only a dirty litter tray. There was a cat flap into the 'kennel' where any other cat could enter. Our cat had a new scar on his left cheek and broken skin on one of his paws. Our vet was certain that this was injury caused by another cat. This is not a pet resort but a pet prison! Our cat was crying out, hissing and hiding behind the door. When we got him home he was shaky, parched and starving. He didn't smell good, his coat was rough and he was lighter to pick up. We could never recommend this place and we will never return.

I've been boarding my parrot at pet resort for years I highly recommend them just picked up my parrot shes happy as every. very nice staff excellent service.Thanks again for looking after my parrot.

Very upset at how we have just been dealt with. I picked up my diabetic cat from here a day early, once I got my cat home I found out that she was soaked in cat urine. She has also lost over half a kilo in weight and may need to be admitted to the vets later today. The stories we have heard from the owner have changed repeatedly. On initial contact with the manager he said he knew she was covered in urine and was waiting for the heavy rain to stop to use grooming spray on her. Just now he claims she was wet from water she had knocked over. He left my elderly cat covered in her own urine for hours. Not only has the manager been extremely unhelpful one of the front of house staff was rude to my wife. On dropping my cat off, we were told that we needed to pay extra to have her insulin administered, the retort from the girl was “well you are paying for a 5star service”. Rude and indignant. We asked for a refund for the neglected state our cat returned in to be told that wasn’t an option. Overall I have found the whole service to be disgraceful and I would never ever recommend this place again.

We left our cats at the Aberdeen Pet Resort, Peterculter, for a week in April. When we got them home, less than a 5 minute drive, their travel carriers and blankets were covered in fur and urine. Our cats were absolutely stinking of urine too! I contacted the place immediately as I felt that they had been living in their travel carriers and using it as a litter tray too! Only to be told that they were not kept in their travel carriers and they had no idea why our cats smelt so bad! It must been the journey home, all 5 minutes of it!! DO NOT PUT YOUR BELOVED PETS HERE! This place should be closed immediately!!! Definitely not a genuine one star! I would give them nothing but closure!

I am happy to take my cat here. He has an indoor area with a shelf and a small outdoor area. It is very clean. I especially like that there are no dogs here as that stresses the cats out. Nice reception with welcoming residential cats and parrot. He always seems content when I collect him.

Reading these reviews is really upsetting. I put my cat in here a few years ago, and paid extra as it was over Xmas. When I got him back he was stinking I had to bathe him. I wonder now if he was kept in his box. I feel awful that he went through that experience. Lairshill is my go to now. They are very good.

I have used this cattery three times never any problems. The staff are really attentive they let me see the room she would be staying in. We discussed feeding options and what she liked and didnt like. We paid extra for some play time on a daily basis. Your pet will be weighed when you drop them off and again on collection which i really liked. Its a little difficult to find so put on your sat nav. Plenty parking right outside the main reception

The staff has always been friendly and helpful to me, the place appears clean and I see nothing of concern (reading the 1 star reviews). When I picked my cat up last time, my cat was hissing at me, but that's a reflection on him (he was rescued by the sspca and doesn't deal with new people or small spaces) and not the facility.

Second time our cats have stayed here as an emergency and both times they have become ill straight after. We will DEFINITELY not be leaving our cats here again...even if it is an emergency. The place stinks of cat pee as soon as you walk in,it is almost unbearable. We had emailed, agreed and paid an extra fee to drop our cats off late. Upon drop off at the agreed later time the owner decided to complain about how inconvenient late drop off times were for them and had a go at us about it..... yet it had all been agreed in writing and an extra fee paid for!!! Our advice is avoid this place. Nasty smells and awful management

Eileen provides the best dog care we’ve ever had in 20 years of owning dogs. She is amazing and I genuinely feel like our dog consider staying with her as his holiday for the year. It’s also been wonderful for socialising him as he has been very timid after an attack.

My dogs loved their time at Love Dogs

Amazing 👏 …

The best and most professional walker I have ever seen. None better.

Jan always provides a great service. My cats are always very happy when I return from a trip and I can relax when I'm away from home knowing that they are being well looked after.

Picked up pompom after staying here for 16 nights. Staff were lovely looked after pompom so well. Pompom will definitely stay here again.

I was at The Boarding Kennels recently, dropping a client's dog off and I was lucky enough to see inside of the kennels and some of the space they have to let the dogs run around and have fun in; the conditions were good although there were a lot of dogs all very close together (with the barking that goes along with it) so if you have a dog of a nervous disposition then perhaps The Boarding Kennels isn't the right place. The staff were nice and the prices seem fair so all in all a very decent place for your (boisterous) hound.

Outstanding service. We have tried lots of kennels but this is the only one where our dog is really happy. They truly care and my dog is absolutely happy too see them when we return. Katy is an angel. Thank you so much for your brilliant service . The happy parents of Tücsi

I was supposed to leave my dog for two weeks with them in May but because of this pandemic my holidays have been cancelled so I enquire what’s happening with the deposit I paid if it’s possible to transfer it because it’s a global issue and most people are able to get vouchers or transfer things but from this place I was told that deposit is non returnable and non transferable and that they are helping out NHS staff and they can’t help me. Well sorry but please stop using NHS staff as an excuse because I work for NHS myself and I am absolutely discussed with your attitude towards me and your communication. I will never put my dog into your care and I will never recommend anyone else to do that.

Rosie the Cockerpoo spent a week here end of April into May. I was really impressed by the care given by the team here, Rosie returned to us a happy healthy dog. We, will definately use the Kennels again.

My dog just loves the boarding kennels. pre covid it was always just too hard to book a space for him as they were always booked up. friendly staff who love and care for the dogs .

Just picked our greyhound Paddy. He has been very well looked after at the kennels, so chuffed with this place and we will definitely be using again.

We had our little girl here for 10 days and she has come back a bit of a different dog, not herself, nippy so not sure I would make use of them again.

Excellent Place..!!! Our dog Lewis has been going there for a while now and he lives Keith and his team...!!! 👍👍👍 BIG Thumbs up...!!!! …

Sam my little dog loves it here and that makes me very happy.. He is really cared for at The Boarding Kennels at Newmachar and I would recommend 100%

Great place. No issues and Jimmy loves getting pampered... They pick him up and drop him off aswell which is great as don't drive. He goes every month now for a grooming.

Very friendly and can tell that they love the dogs they care for.

Bear dog never looked better. And she likes going!

Experienced and friendly dog training, highly recommended

Fantastic owners who really care about your pet.
