This was the first time Daria took care of Luisa & Humphrey. We met the evening before the sit to go through the feeding and walking routines. Daria was quick to learn and was self-sufficient the entire 12 days of the sit. During the sit, she sent daily updates letting me know that everything was fine. I would have preferred more detailed updates and some more photos but I could have easily requested them and I'm sure she would have happily done so. I returned to a clean, well kept home and two very happy dogs!
Brianna was amazing! I feel very lucky that I had someone like Brianna to stay and care for my cats, Pippa & Flower, and my home while I was away for nearly 10 days. I came home to happy cats and a clean house, left very much like I left it - THANK YOU! Brianna and I were unable to meet in-person prior to her stay so we did a virtual walk-through together. I cannot recommend Brianna highly enough.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

I have trusted Tina for many years for home visits to care for my rabbits and cat when we go away. Tina is knowledgeable about their care, and always gives regular updates to reassure me they are all ok. She is really reliable, friendly, often goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are happy and well and always leaves things in a clean, neat and tidy way. Home visits mean my animals don’t have to go to unfamiliar kennels where they would be stressed out by all the other animals. I would recommend Tina’s home visits to anyone with cats, rabbits or small animals. Knowing she is looking after them means I can relax and enjoy my holiday!
Tina and her family offer a fantastic home from home boarding experience. Our cockerpoo Winnie loves her stays there in a warm and welcoming home and with lovely long walks. I would highly recommend Happy Pawz to everyone.
Happy Pawz is a home from home experience for our cockapoo Monty - he’s been going to Tina for ad hoc daycare and home boarding since he was a puppy. Lovely long walks and he’s always happy to run inside. It’s a big relief to go away knowing Monty is having a great time and is cared for.
Tina and her family have quite literally opened their home to our little pup and we couldn’t be more thankful to the time and patience put in to building a solid relationship with her. I feel reassured knowing she is having a lovely day full of long walks (and a few treats thrown in for good measure). Highly recommend!
I have used Happy Paws home visit service for my two cats.Tina has always done a great job and would use again
Our 2 year old Cocker Spaniel, Boe has had the best time with Coco pops on a weekly basis for the last couple of years! Jess and the team are fantastic with her, so caring and gentle. Jess is super flexible with walk days and is always happy to help. I couldn’t recommend their services more to dog owners.
Amazing service Jess and the ladies are always so professional and do all they can to make sure my often anxious (on pick ups) Frenchie is taken care of. They provide updates on every group walk and he has the best time with the other dogs running free in the fields. Highly recommend.
I have been using them for my English springer spaniel who needs some dogs to play with and at the moment I don't have the space for more dogs. He loves it, we can't mention their names as he knows it and he will wait by the window until he sees them. I highly recommend them they are amazing, they communicate when plans change and can even send photos of your dog having a blast.
I have never left my dog with anyone else apart from my parents but as we were going away together I had to find someone to look after my 13year old lurcher and was really nervous I decided to leave him at home with a family member checking in on him throughout the day and evening and then I went with Jess at coco pet services to walk him twice day and spend some time with him over the weekend. When I met Jess she was very welcoming and I felt assured that my dog would be ok. Whilst I was away it was comforting to see photos of them on the walks that they would send me, I could tell my dog was enjoying the walks. The communication throughout was fab from coco pet services. When we arrived home I could tell my dog was missing his daily visits from the girls. I would definitely recommend Jess and coco pet services and I will def use them again when needed.
Jess is professional, trustworthy and great with my two dogs! They both come back very happy from walks with her.
Cocopops are an absolutely fantastic pet service to use, and I cannot recommend them enough. We've used the solo walks and group walks for our Frenchie and he always comes back happy and pooped out!! Kelsey is amazing with dogs and she really cares about all puppers having a great time. The photos are always great to see, and even on the muddiest days paws and legs are cleaned before returning (which is amazing). We've not personally used the boarding/pet sitting service, but our neighbours do regularly and seeing updates from their doggo happy and content in that environment, we'd definitely use that service in the future :)
Jess and the Coco Pops team were so integral to my pups upbringing. Jess is extremely knowledgeable and cares so much. Cancelled walks when the weather was too hot but bent over backwards to ensure the dogs under her care never went without. Could not recommend highly enough and even though I've moved some distance away Jess is still my first go to if I need to put Lewis into boarding. Thank you Jess and team for all your help while I was living in Bristol
Jess takes Rocco out every week, sending photos and updates of his adventures! She’s also had Rocco for an overnight stay recently which he loved. I was nervous about him staying out but Jess send updates and videos which really put my mind at ease but also showed that he was having a great time. Jess and the team are really trustworthy, reliable and professional and I would definitely recommend them 😃
Jess has been fantastic from day 1 - she was so welcoming, friendly and professional when she came to meet Hendricks. He absolutely loves going out for walks with her and the other dogs and she’s always providing feedback and photos / videos of his walks. As he’s only 6 months old I was a little worried about how he would be on group walk but he adores his times with Jess; he always comes back to happy and tired! I 100% trust her with Hendricks and would recommend her to anybody!
Really good service, Coco Pops are flexible and always do their best to meet requested times and dates. The dog walkers are all very professional and have excellent communication skills and are very confident with dogs
Fudge loves his days out with Steph and the other dogs. He just gets so excited when she picks him up and can't wait to get out of the house. I was so lucky to meet Steph when Fudge was a puppy. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
My dog has been going regularly to doggie daycare with Helen since he was a puppy. He cannot wait to get there and pulls me all the way from the car to meet his friends. In fact, I cannot tell him where we are going until I am ready to go out of the door as he gets so excited! This is a doggie 'home from home', professionally run with love and care; you will not find a better place to leave your beloved pet!
Hamilton’s Dogs have been walking our dog for many years since he was a puppy, he absolutely loves Steph, we couldn’t ask for a better dog walker, she is so amazing with him, goes above and beyond. Hamilton’s Dogs also provide fantastic, reliable, flexible doggy day care and boarding. They treat dogs like they’re one of the family. I would highly recommend Hamilton’s Dogs.
We've used Steph for a few years, mainly now for group walking of our younger dog. Reliable in pick up times, and our Labrador Lucy loves her walks, especially the variety of places they go (and with water visits!!!) . Our other, more elderly dog has been a guest at their hotel too and was very well looked after. Highly recommended to all.
Buddy absolutely adores Hamilton's Dogs. We signed him up shortly after we adopted him and it has done wonders for his socialisation and play. Every week he will race me to the back door so he can get to Steph, his whole bum wags with excitement, and when he gets back he'll zonk right out on the sofa. We are gradually introducing him to day care but we trust that Helen and Steph are going to look after him. I cannot recommend them enough!
Steph is a real star! Our Jack Russell Pebbles loves her and the other dogs she walks with, wish I could send her every day! As Pebbles is an old lady, I trust Steph to keep an eye on her and keep me updated on how she is, and I don't trust just anyone! Steph picks up and drops off which is great when you work full time! Can't recommend Steph enough! :)
Steph is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker. She takes our little dog out during the week and always sends wonderful photos and videos so I can see the fun he's been having on his walks! She is wonderful with dogs and it is obvious she cares a lot about the dogs happiness. Barney is always fast asleep when I get in so I know he's been exercised well, and it's also great that he gets to socialise with other dogs! If I'm ever watching a video Steph has sent me of their walks and Barney is around, whenever he hears Steph's voice he runs up to the phone and starts wagging! If you are looking for a dog walker, I honestly couldn't recommend Steph highly enough.
Steph's amazing! Would highly recommend her to anyone :) my 8 month bullmastiff Peach loves her and the little pack of dogs she goes out with! I trust Steph a lot with Peach as she's taken time to get to know her and her style of play. Plus the pictures and updates she sends me whilst on walks with Peach gives me the confidence to say that Peach always has a fantastic time!
I highly recommend Hamilton's Waggly Walks to anyone who is looking for a dog walking service. Steph is not only professional and reliable, she also has a lovely nature. I'm very happy Steph includes my doggie on her walks.
I always reccomend my friends and family to the Hamiltons, they are always very caring, approachable and friendly. I cannot fault there professonalism and being a friend of the family I can always see how much love the have for their own and others dogs.
The Muttley Crew have looked after our rather sensitive rescue dog for the last 5 years. Having spent a lot of time at the Dogs Home in Bristol, he couldn't take kennels, coming back to us very distressed. He loves staying and walking with Julie and pals. We wouldn't let him go anywhere else!
My lovely spaniel has been walked by Julie & Kerry for 3 years and they are wonderful. Knowing she is so well looked after while I'm at work is so important. Julie also had her over night when my daughter got married & she came back very content ( she never goes to kennels, but comes camping with me , so this shows just how well loved she was). Thanks so much.
Julie looked after our Staffie last month, working with us to settle her in at short notice. Julie adjusted her routine to accommodate our dog's requirements, and she came back happy and healthy. Many thanks.
Julie & Kerry have been taking care of my Labrador Jas for a few years now and are just excellent. She gets 100% attention in day care and sleep overs and they have adjusted to her needs as Jas is gracefully getting older! Jas adores them and we consider ourselves very lucky to be with the Crew😊. …
Julie was brilliant with my dogs. I trust her completely with them. She can read dogs really well and understands their body language. She ensured all of my dogs received the best care and I highly recommend her.
Julie and Kerry is brilliant with my dog Boomer and they treat him like one there his own
Sam has been looking after our Dog for a couple of years now, her family is his second family, he's as happy there as he is at home. We love seeing videos of his daily walks online, and if we go abroad on holidays we know both he and his tortoise brother will be happy and safe with her. Our groomer is always amazed by the reaction our dog has when Sam collects him from there, he's as happy and excited as when I collect him myself. Highly recommended.
Our dog Róka has thoroughly enjoyed her group walks with Sam over the past 9 months, ending only because we are moving away. Róka was always excited to see Sam and came home from walks happy and tired. Sam herself has been very flexible and responsive to changes in our schedules, and the pictures and videos that she took showed that Róka was having a great time. We would highly recommend!
Sam has been walking our dog for several years now. Our dog LOVES Sam and her family, he's always excited to go out for his walks and is very happy and content when he returns. Sam has been invaluable in helping us be good dog owners. Highly recommend her services.
Lovely family. Caring and professional. My dog loved his holiday with Sam and her family and we felt relaxed leaving him with them. I would thoroughly recommend sam animal care.
My two dogs a Chihuahua called Gizmo and a Maltese pup called Frosty Snowman always come back tired, exhausted but extremely happy!! Jan & Dave love the dogs and treat them as their own. I always put my dogs into Mini's Retreat when we go away or often just for the day as it helps them to socialize as they are still very young dogs. Absolutely brilliant home dog boarding. Thoroughly recommend A*****
Always reliable and a top quality service. We have used Chew Valley Pets to look after our Guinea Pigs and we can always rely on them to keep them safe when we are away. Will use them again.
Monty stayed with Steve & Katie for an overnight trial. He isn't an easy dog & is a typical Collie! Katie was very welcoming on our arrival & made me feel very comfortable leaving Monty in their care. They also contacted me to let me know everything was going well which I really appreciated. They were very accommodating to Monty & understanding of his quirks. They have a beautiful setting which is a real home from home environment. When I collected Monty Steve gave me a thorough debrief of Monty's stay. Monty was very content & calm when I collected him which just shows how well he was looked after. I would highly recommend Woolmers Home Boarding & will definitely be using them in the future."
Steve & Katie are the only people we have found that have the both environment and know how to look after our Beagle. We met Steve when he came to us when Buddy was a puppy, in his capacity as a dog trainer. We were delighted when Steve and Katie started Woolmers and it goes without saying that a home boarding business run by a qualified and experienced dog trainer is going to be a cut above the rest. Their home is beautiful, set in a forest with lots of safe outside space. The dogs have access to lots of warm cosy beds and sofas with shared or private space if they need a bit of down time. Buddy has stayed with them many times and I always feel totally relaxed about leaving him there. He always returns looking happy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Our two girls (cockerpoo's) seem to love their stay here. Definitely would recommend using them to look after your beloved pooches.
Friendly couple, my dog is desperate to go in!!
Highly recommend Caroline. Our cockapoo Milo goes once a week and is always really happy to go in. Caroline has also had him for a odd weekend, which has been fantastic.
Our toy poodle Arlo has stayed with Caroline several times now when we go on holiday. He is always very happy to see her and very settled when we return to pick him up. It is so reassuring to us to know that he is happy when we are away and is being so well looked after. Thank you Caroline!
would totally recommend Caroline to anyone looking for Home Boarding. Maisy my 18 month old Cavapoo is very nervous with people and doesn't go to anyone. I was worried she wouldn't be able to stay with anyone else. I needn't have worried Caroline was amazing and so patient and good with her and she was fine and really enjoyed her stay. She has now stayed twice and is now her best friend and follows her everywhere and sits on her lap. I can go away knowing that she is very happy there and well looked after.
Have used Happy Home 3 times now, all at very short notice due to work commitments. Caroline made the process really easy and welcomed Wally wth open arms. Each time when I returned he has been calm and healthy, not the neurotic hyper Ive been left for months reaction you get when using a kennels. Definitely my go-to home for Wally when I need somewhere for him to stay. Excellent.
My lively springer spaniel has been going to Happy Home Dog Boarding for over three years now. Regularly twice a week and multiple stay overs whilst I go on holiday. My dog can't wait to get inside, tail wagging and absolutely loves it. Caroline is so accommodating to my ever changing schedule. Highly recommend.
We have been taking our 12month old dog to Happy Home Dog Boarding Bristol since the end of last year. She loves it and can’t wait to arrive dragging me to the front door in the mornings! Caroline had been brilliant, the dogs clearly love her and she has been so flexible helping us out at short notice on several occasions.
Really Amazing place to leave your dog. They couldn’t be in better hands. A lovely big space with super close access to great woodland walks.
My chocolate labrador Bruno has been very well looked after by Caroline for a few years now. He loves going to stay with her, and trots in happily, tail wagging excitedly! Caroline replies promptly to messages, and has always been really helpful.
Our dog loves going to see Caroline at Happy Home. Such a nice set up, very friendly and accommodating ands great piece of mind if we need to leave our dog overnight with her knowing she is well cared for
Louie loves going to Carolines, he pulls us towards her house! She comes highly recommended and very accomodating to our needs. Louie loves boarding too and spending time with his mates!
