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!
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away. Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!
Duncan was an excellent pet sitter and looked after our old girl Cookie really well.
Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith! I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable. In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture. I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!

Took great care of our cats while we were on holiday - would definitely recommend!
We have used these guys recently for our dogs, and unfortunately we can't rate them with 6 stars, so 5 will have to do! Very highly recommended! Thanks again!
Very friendly & professional Sarah & Richard took wonderful care of our cat for a few days whilst we were away came back to a very relaxed happy cat I would definitely recommend
These guys are amazing. I can go to work knowing our pooches are well looked after. Thank you Richard
It was Charlie and Rodney's first time time staying at Park House Luxury kennels . We got photos of what they where up to which put our minds at ease . The team looked after them really well .we have just booked them in again for June. Thank you Kate and team .
Fantastic caring people who gave our labrador the holiday of her life! It's so good to go on holiday knowing our pooch is safe happy and well cared for. Would recommend without reservation.
We have just picked Bob up from his 2 week holiday and he literally didn’t want to come home🙄. Kate and her team and the facilities are amazing. The dogs (bob) are looked after as individuals, they are treated like royalty. It is worth every penny knowing that he was liked after, safe and happy. I could totally recommend x Thanks Kate & the team.
One word, AMAZING!! Kate and the Team are outstanding and our 4paws loves it there, and them.
Great facilities, indoor kennels, a lovely big field for them to play in. The staff are excellent at communicating, sharing updates, and genuinely care for their visitors. It's always so hard to leave our fur babies, but it's made 100% easier knowing they're in good hands.
Kate, her team and the facilities are second to none! The peace of mind we get from knowing that Ralph (our 12 month old Golden Retriever) is looked after like he was one of Kates own is worth every penny.
20 out of 10 for us and that’s just the dogs review!!! All the girls are fabulous and our dogs are very happy going and coming home…
Fantastic facilities and staff
Absolutely excellent care. Happy dogs.
Brilliant Kennels.
Just been for a Spaniel event day, Venue great- plenty of field for your dogs to run freely, happily and safe! Great owners very friendly, happy. Pizza van “Yorkshire Scran” Look forward to going again!
Use Tail of Swale twice a week for day care and when we go on holiday. Cannot fault anything. My dogs are well cared for.
Caroline and all the team at Tails of Swale have been brilliant with Nevis since he started coming for daycare a couple of months ago. He’s an anxious dog when left alone and so this works great for when I am tied to working in the office. Nevis is always excited when we arrive and a tired happy boy when we leave. Thanks so much for looking after him the way you all do even when he’s trying his escape artist tricks. It really shows how much all the team cares for all the dogs that stay with you.
Fantastic! These are brilliant boarding kennels. I’ve been very reluctant to send my boy to kennels again but feel the team at Tails of Swale understood his personality and met his need for lots of interaction and play time! A very happy vizsla! Recommend without hesitation :)
We can't recommend Tails of Swaile enough! Our dogs boarded over the weekend and were cared for exceptionally well. They had fun and we had our corgi x groomed while he was there too. Brilliant care, beautiful kennels and lovely people. Thank you xx
I took my nervous and very reactive dog to Tails Of Swale expecting her to have to spend the week being walked alone as she really doesn’t like other dogs. Caroline sat with my dog,Lexie and got to know her a little bit. Within hours of being there,Lexie was running and playing with a group of dogs and loving it. I would recommend taking your dog here if you want to make sure they are well looked after and cared for. Best dog boarding around.
Highly recommended for any dog with anxiety disorders. Purdey was really stressed the first night, and Caroline ring to discuss how she could help her. Next day Caroline sent me a video of Purdey with the other dogs enjoying herself. And messaged to say she was a lot less stressed. When I collected her the next day. She was a very happy girl. From what I was told Caroline had spent extra time with her to comfort her. A very big thank you to all the staff at Tails of Swale, outstanding service
Experienced owners offering doggy day care and boarding
We rescued Bobo and quickly learned he had been hit. If we moved an arm quickly he cowered. We had an emergency and needed someone to look after our beautiful fur baby, whilst we made a dash down to the MIdlands. Since then Bobo has been back and to be honest he hardly looked back, he was off with the other doggies and having fun. He has gained so much confidence. We know it is all down to the wonderful staff and owners at Tails of Swale.
This is the second time we have used Tails of Swale. Our dogs absolutely love it here as do we. The dogs are so well loved & looked after they just crash when home. Thank you
Best kennels I have ever used. My dog was cared for to the highest of standards , staff are Fabulous can't praise them enough, they clearly love their work and Milo was very happy there. Thank you so much.
Have used wilderbrook kennels for over 10 years looking after our husky ( who sadly we lost earlier this week ) Maya my husky was all ways well looked after by all the staff at wilderbrook and couldn’t recommend them enough. Sometimes she would stay with them for over a month when we were travelling and never given a 2nd thought to dropping her off. Staff are approachable, understanding and happy for a check up message on what’s app or a call.
Wallace loved his stay, could not have asked for more.
My two cats have stayed at The Secret Garden three times now, and I am extremely happy leaving them there. The pens are immaculate, as is the entire cattery. It's very clean, with no smell of cat wee, which I've smelt in other catteries. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners, and I know, without a doubt, my boys are well-cared for. Thank you so much! An excellent cattery, which I would not hesitate to recommend.
It's really reassuring to know your pet will be looked after. The team went above and beyond when they had to take our dog to the vet on a Sunday morning. Even though we were out of the country, they made sure we were kept up to date even though this was all at the last minute. We've used a number of kennels with various pets over the years, but Wilderbrook is one of the best.
This is the first time my dog has been in kennels and I was so worried about him. He stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely time. There was definitely no need to worry and I'll definitely be using the kennels again. Thankyou Wilderbrook .
Very nice friendly place, more than happy leaving my cat in their care when we go on holidays.
Always take our cat here as always has seemed happy with good accommodation with friendly professional staff. Price seems fair, and also has dog kennel options too. Some narrow roads to get there but also fairly easy to find.
We have a year old Weimaraner dog called Rasmus and he loves going to Wilderbrook. He is very well looked after and we can tell by his behavior that he is happy there. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Excellent groomers. Very kind and approachable.
Fantastic service, the dogs come back looking pampered and energetic! Could speak high enough!
I was very impressed by the facility, clean, fun and professionally run by Sally and her knowledgeable staff, all of which obviously love their jobs and more importantly love the dogs they interact with. They run a pretty tight ship with emphasis on safety first. They have two beautiful outside play areas that have Synthetic turf so the dogs stay clean, while rolling and frolicking around with there friends. I was fortunate to be able to go behind the scenes and witness first hand this wonderful caring environment that Sally has created for our doggie community..
It's been a bit of a journey for Buddy, who was a lockdown pup and has considerable anxiety issues. Sally has been visiting him for walks and cuddles for a while, but starting proper daycare was huge. The first day, he didn't even leave his crate. Thanks to the patience, love, and a few sausages from Sally and her team he's making brilliant progress - now able to hang out and chill with some of the other quieter dogs outside. Buddy will never be a party pup but he's doing well and taking steps. Sally sends me updates and pics to let me know how he's doing - it's been hugely reassuring to know she cares about him (almost) as much as we do x
Sally has looked after our two dogs for five years. They love her and she treats them like they were her own dogs. I highly recommend DogSmith of Thirsk. First class dog care.
Errol loves it here. When I turn up the road towards them he starts whining with excitement & when he gets out the car he charges off to meet his doggy and human friends without a backward glance! Always comes home happy & knackered.
We have Jake and Annie who both attend doggie day care and absolutely love going, dogsmiths is a reliable and accommodating service. Sally is professional and passionate about dogsmiths and this shows with how happy the dogs are in her care. Thank you for being brilliant at what you do!
Molly absolutely loves her visits. As soon as I open the car boot she hears the staffs voices and is desparate to be out of the car and then drags me to the gate. I collect one tired but very happy little dog. That says it all really!
DogSmith is fantastic! My dog absolutely loves going and comes home exhausted! Sally and Janette and the team do a brilliant job. I couldn’t recommend them more!
It’s brilliant 🤩 . A fun and safe place for my young English Springer to play and socialise with other fur babies while I’m at work. The staff are excellent. They are caring, knowledgeable and have a lovely rapport with all the dogs and their owners. My boy cannot wait to get through the gate in the morning to see his pals. Highly recommended 🐶
Sally looks after our Jack Russell Poppy when we go on holiday. We have no worries about Poppy when we are away Sally is amazing with Poppy we get regular updates and photos whilst we are away. I would never go anywhere else. Excellent service.
My dogs love this place and they are so kind to my dogs and play ball with Yogi who is obsessed with the ball! They do pick up and drop off to which is fantastic! Thank you Dogsmith :)
Emma and Louise are fantastic! Rocky appreciates and loves spending his days with Emma and his friends and is always super excited. They always go above and beyond and we are very grateful for everything they has done. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone 😁 …
Emma, Team Mutt love you to bits. You always go above and beyond to ensure their needs are always put first. You introduced them to 5 acres and they think it is fantastic. I know when I leave them with you they are well looked after, cared for and loved. How you share a bed with a 40kg and 12 kg dog and get any sleep when they sleep horizontally is amazing. If anyone reading this wants the best of the best dog walker or pet sitter just contact Emma at Sit and Go I can guarantee you will not be disappointed your pets will love her.
Em and Lou very kindly looked after my 3 dogs for the week whilst we were on holiday this summer. Having worked with them both at a dog rescue I knew my dogs could not be in safer, more experienced hands! The dogs had a blast (we had lots of lovely updates) they also had endless cuddles and attention. One of my dogs is a bit sensitive to new people coming into the house and even he settled down very nicely, he knew he would have a great time! Thanks Em and Lou, anytime you want my two naughty whips and dorky Galgo they are ready for you! :)
Loxley my crazy cocker spaniel gets so excited when I say “Is Em coming to see you today” he starts pricking his ears up an goes towards the door. This just shows how amazing Em and the team are with him. As you can imagine he’s a lively spaniel and Em and the team always cater to his needs an love him as much as I do. Em and the team are always on hand for me dropping a message about booking Loxley in an always do the best they can to pop him in, he even gets play dates with other dogs too which I know he absolutely loves.
Great being able to call on Em! Every time she’s had Goose it as been a blessing. She comes back learning new tricks and sleeps for hours!
Emma & Louise walk our dog twice weekly. They love him like their own & he waits on the stairs looking for them. Recently we’ve used their pet sitting service for holidays too. He has additional needs which make leaving him very difficult. They moved around all their shifts, work & commitments so that someone was with him 24 hours a day. 2 days before our holiday he had to have an emergency trip to the vets & developed diarrhoea. We couldn’t take him on a 5 hour car trip, no option for boarding or kennels but they still had him & saved our holiday. They got up twice a night to let him out, cleaned him (& our carpets) and left the house spotless. We even came home to a bolognese for tea! These two are amazing & I can’t recommend them highly enough!
We used Sit & Go to look after our two indoor cats whilst we were away for a short break. My partner was kept updated as she worries terribly about them - we had several pictures sent a day, together with FaceTime calls so she could talk to them. A faultless, professional service!
I wish I could star this more than 5. My boyo is my baby and he hasn’t had it easy. Two major operations and loss of his hooman dad. Emma and Louise are life savers and that is no exaggeration. They don’t just do what the title says. They go above and beyond. They answer their phone no matter what time of the day and do not hesitate to drop around at the drop of a hat. Post op was hard work and they had so many tips and helped put stuff into place to make it more comfortable for my boy. The knowledge these two have are second to none. They even take extra time to help me out when needed. They give their best plus more. Before I leave for work, I tell him they are coming and he ways his tail. He loves and adores them (kinda got them around his paw) If you need your furbabies looking after look no further they are the perfect duo to do the job. Superhero’s in mine and my boyos life.
Excellent service from Em at Sit & Go - we have used them twice recently: one at short notice. A very professional service with personal attention to our lovely Fudge. We wouldn't go anywhere else now 💕
Fantastic service from Em shes looked after my fur boy Bertie on numerous occasions staying in my home. My boy loves her to bits...5 Star service ❤❤
Absolutely delighted with Lodge Pet services they are fantastic looking after my nervous little boy. Would definitely recommend here.
Great place. My dog is always excited to get dropped off. Fab service and care given. 🙌 …
Great value, lovely owners, will use agian and again.
Thank you Bruce was a very good boy x
Winnie my cockapoo started Pooches paradise this week and has settled straight away! There’s an abundance of things for all the dogs to do outside and I can tell Winnie is in her element and very tired when she gets home as there’s so much for the the dogs to do! Im so pleased I’ve find this place for Winnie to spend her days when I’m at work! there’s a great cabin for the Pooches to rest by the log burner! All in all I’m so happy and so is my pooch 🤩
My dogs absolutely LOVE it here! Lots of play time and care! They are always tuckered out for about 2 days! Which is great for my cocker spaniels constant energy levels! I really believe it’s helped my Yogi’s initial shy demeanour too, I’ve noticed her being so much more confident with other dogs and people every since she’s being going to Pooches Paradise so thank you so much for that! Great pick up and drop off service too. Thank you! :)
My two dogs get excited when we pull up to pooches paradise. They always enjoy their day here with Freya and Charlie. There’s so much for the dogs to do as Charlie builds the dog equipment himself. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around as well as a cosy cabin to relax. I always know my dogs will be tired when I pick them up at the end of the day from having so much fun.
Moss loves coming here. There is plenty for him to do and is always worn out when I pick him up. The daycare is run by an excellent couple who care for the dogs in a big way.
I feel confident happy and pleased with the service from pooches paradise, and my dog pulls to get in on the days he gets to play all day.
Easily the best daycare I have ever used, especially in the area. Really friendly staff, genuine care for the dogs and their safety. The equipment is amazing and all hand made. Couldn't ask for more.
Fantastic place 😀 plenty of outside space lovely log burner to keep warm by dogs never left unattended , clean and the dogs are loved 😍 …
It was great fun! Spotless, great equipment and 100% secure. Can’t wait to go back
