We loved siting for Chops and Albie! We sat for them for 3 days and they were chilled and easy to care for. Chops does his thing while Albie loves lap time. Both enjoy lots of snooze time and were super friendly. Cate and Dan were so welcoming. Their flat is large but cosy and in a great location. We’re looking forward to our next sit which we already have booked in!
We recently experienced a wonderful time in the beautiful Scottish Highlands with Lesley and her Cavachon Isla after the original house sit arrangements with Lesley had to be changed due to a bereavement. Getting to know Lesley and Isla and spending several days with them both was a bonus for us. Even before we arrived we felt like we had known Lesley for a long time and she welcomed us into her home with open arms like long lost friends. Nothing was too much trouble for Lesley and her hospitality was exceptional, while Isla is a wonderful loving companion who melts your heart in an instant. The location and easy access to the stunning scenery of the Highlands make this a great place to come to if you have the chance. Most of all, Isla is a little gem who is such a pleasure to spend time with and easy to care for. We definitely look forward to future house sits with Isla.
Right from the first message Chris was an absolute gent and made the whole experience very easy. He was thoughtful and helpful in terms of helping me get my bearings with the area, and left a very helpful guide for looking after his little cat Baby - who is a lovely, chilled out puss - absolutely no trouble at all! The cottage is lovely - with a cracking little garden to sit in... when the sun's out! Chinnor is also a really nice little village, and I can highly recommend the indian restaurant opposite! 😋 Chris also got a load of shopping in for me, which was really going above and beyond, but was a nice surprise when I got there! Can't recommend spending some time in Chinnor with Baby highly enough! Thanks very much Chris. Loved it! :)
A big thank you to Jane and Charles for a lovely stay in Goadby. Jane and Charles made us feel so welcome and showed us around the village before departing on their holiday. Bonnie is the loveliest dog, playful and fun but very well behaved and a pleasure to look after. A fabulous experience.
I loved this sit in Newbury looking after Fred. I met Rachel when I arrived and she showed me the house, how things worked and explained more about Fred and his needs. She also printed out the handbook and left some maps of the area and info which was very helpful. Fred is an adorable cat and we spent every evening sat together on the sofa watching the tele. He was very affectionate and would constantly roll over by my feet wanting some attention. He loved his food too which is always nice to see. Rachel and Fred's home is beautiful, warm and comfortable. The bed was so cosy I always got a good nights sleep. Newbury is a lovely little town and a short walk to the shops and canal through the park. I've never seen so many hairdressers and coffe shops in one place ! There were many places I wanted to explore in the area but unfortunately the weather was not great to do so. Hopefully I will return one day and get the chance Thank you again Rachel and Fred xx
My partner and I had a great time watching Pixie! She was a very sweet girl who loves a cuddle and play. Esther has a lovely home and made sure we knew everything we needed to before she left. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, near some pubs, fast food restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Thanks for having us, it was a pleasure to stay here and care for Pixie. Highly recommend! Laura & Federico Xx

We are so so happy that we discovered Fur-ever Friends. This was the first time we were leaving our boy with strangers and understandably we were apprehensive. Paul and Marie quickly put us at ease upon our first meeting. They are both so friendly and warm and genuinely offer a home away from home, with your pet looked after and loved as one of their own. They make a real effort to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and maintains as much of their usual routine as possible. Throughout our time away, Paul kept us informed daily, sending us so many lovely photo's (his photo's are amazing!). This was wonderful to receive as it reassured us that he was doing fine and enjoying himself. A big plus was that he was also often going for walks with other dogs, which was so good for his socialisation. They also offer a pick up and drop off service which was extremely helpful. I think the biggest testament is that when they dropped off our boy, he spent a lot of time going to them while we were chatting and actually jumped into the back of their car when it was time to leave, much to all our amusement :-) We will definitely be using Paul and Marie again. I can't recommend them highly enough, even if it means running the risk that they won't have space for us in future :-) Thanks so much Paul and Marie.
Paul & Maria provided the best care possible for our energetic pooch whilst we were away - keeping us well informed of his progress and updated with lots and lots of photos and videos of his antics during his stay. Leaving our beloved dog whilst we went away on holiday for 8 days was not easy for us, but we felt totally reassured, knowing that Paul and Maria would be caring for him in their beautiful dog friendly home. Could not recommend their services enough!
Our dogs had a wonderful time with Paul and Maria. They were sensitive to their needs, particularly with one of our dogs who is quite shy. You know that Paul and Maria absolutely love looking after our “babies” and that they take their responsibilities seriously. They had outdoor walks which were both energetic and stimulating. We received many updates and photos via WhatsApp. At the end of their stay we received a comprehensive report which was much appreciated. We have already booked a future stay!
Very welcoming environment and your pooch can feel like at home. Paul and Marie are brilliant with dogs and they send you regular updates throughout your dog's stay. It was a pleasant experience for both of myself and for my dog. Fur-ever Friends is highly recommended if you need to leave your dog behind for a day. I'd definitely use their services again. Thank you very much for having Molly.
This is the second time that Freddie has enjoyed his 'holiday' with Paul and Maria. The regular updates with photo's made it easier for us to relax knowing Freddie was happy, safe and well looked after. We will not hesitate to book again in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic doggy holiday home.
This was Percy’s first stay with Paul and Maria and we could not be happier with the whole experience. Paul and Maria love dogs and this is so apparent by the way in which they warmly welcomed Percy (and us) into their home. We were naturally anxious at leaving him for the first time, but Paul’s frequent messages and photos quickly removed any worries for us because we could see what a lovely time he was having and how happy he was. Paul kept us updated throughout the stay which provided so much reassurance. We would have no hesitation in recommending Paul and Maria and feel so incredibly fortunate to have found such a lovely couple (not forgetting Boo!) to take care of our boy when we are away.
Paul & Maria house sat for Khan our Chow Chow. And we're absolutely amazing.. I cannot recomened them enough..not only did they keep our home spotless But thier care and attention for Khan was above and beyond what we hoped. Deffinatley are part of our home.
Paul and Maria are amazing. They did an exceptional job of looking after Max . They made us feel comfortable and confident in that Max would be looked after. We received regular updates showing how Max was getting on enjoying his holiday break. He had plenty of walks and exercise and fun with BooBoo Paul, and Maria showed care and affection that was 1st class. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fur-ever Friends Dog Care. Thank you.
Fur-ever-Friends dog walking service. Paul & Maria went over & above to accommodate walking our beloved rescue Mr Waffles as we’ve only had him since November 23! Firstly on contacting Paul straight away I knew they would look after Mr Waffles. We discussed our dogs needs even arranging a home visit first to my in-laws who would be having him whilst we went on holiday. Sending daily pics/captions of solo walks travelling to different areas to reassure us Waffles was getting the best care attention for his reactive behaviour with other dogs. Will definitely be using Paul & Maria in the future. Would recommend Five star service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
This was our first time using Paul, which as a dog owner can be scary leaving your dog with someone new but Paul was excellent. He met up with us and reggie (our golden) beforehand and answered any questions we had. We received daily photo compilations of reg which was really comforting and to add to that our pooch looked like he was having the best time. Highly recommend Paul and will definitely be using again.
We first contacted Sarah because we got a 6 month old staffy cross in June 2020 an were wary that it would be difficult to socialise him in such times. She was wonderful with him and really helped him to grow in confidence - he was nervous of her van at first but he can't wait to jump in now and he loves to be around all other dogs. He has fallen so in love with her, if I mention her name he's overwhelmed with excitement and he can hardly control himself when he hears her van pull up outside. Even when things are back to normal we will always send our dog out with Sarah as it makes him so happy, we know he is in such great hands and he is so well behaved when he gets home. We would absolutely recommend Sarah every pet owner!
Sarah's been amazing with our cats (and our fish!). Our house cats are a bit "particular" but they took to Sarah within a day of her visit, and we got daily updates (with photo's!) of them coming to say hello! Super personable and clearly a cat (and people!) person, you can be assured that your furry friends are well looked after with Sarah! Would recommend and will use 'Sarah's Pet Care' in the future.
Sarah and the team work so hard, and we’re always so appreciative of them taking our whippet Pablo on group walks. Due to myself working different shifts each week it is helpful having Sarah who is always so accommodating and flexible with when we need our walks, I also always feel peace of mind when I know Pablo is out with Sarah and her group. Pablo always comes back absolutely exhausted and with his tail wagging after spending time with Sarah & seeing the photos of him and his friends that are uploaded daily makes my day! I’d recommend Sarah and her team to anyone who wants a trustworthy, reliable, and professional walker as well as wanting their dog to feel comfortable, safe and enjoy time socialising with others. Thank you team for everything you do!🐾🫶🏼🐶
Sarah looks after Benji three times a week and he soooo looks forward to the fun bus arriving. Sarah is so accommodating and happily fits Benji in if something comes up at work. Benji is so loved by Sarah it's like he is spending the day with family. I can't recommend Sarah enough. The care is out of this world. Benji was a rescue from Romania and he has grown in confidence and made so many friends when with Sarah. A******
Sarah takes our two german shepherds out a couple of times a week and is absolutely fabulous with them. Our youngest is a bit nervous in new situations but Sarah took her time to get to know and understand what makes her tick and has allowed her confidence to grow. We're incredibly lucky to have Sarah as we know our pups will be looked after if we need to be at work all day. Thank you, Sarah!
We couldn’t recommend Sarah enough! She is amazing with our dog and he LOVES going out with her. Sarah posts videos and photos from every walk so owners can see exactly where they’ve been and which dogs they’ve been playing with - every dog is having the best time. Sarah truly loves every pet she cares for, me and my family wouldn’t sent him anywhere else 🐶
Sarah takes my Cocker Spaniel out once a week on a group walk. I don’t need a dog walker, but I like Louie to play and socialise with other dogs. He has a wonderful time, which I can see from all the photos and videos Sarah posts on our group. I trust her 100 %, and she loves every dog like it’s her own. ❤️
Sarah has been amazing! She has helped us out whilst we care for a family member's dog and nothing has been too much bother for her. She visited to meet Willow before her scheduled walks and instantly formed a bond with her. Sarah has even been checking on our young kitten which has given us even greater peace of mind! I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. She is a true animal lover and goes the extra mile to look after our girls! Look no further for the best in pet care!
I highly endorse Sarah and her team. It gives me peace of mind while I'm at work, knowing that Wyllow is in good hands and thoroughly enjoys the group walks. Spending time with Sarah has greatly helped Wyllow socialise with other dogs and become more confident.
Sarah is fantastic!! She has been taking our dog for a walk weekly for a month now and he loves her! Her standard of cleanliness, organisation and care is at its highest. She was kind enough to come over before starting the walks so make sure our dog was happy in her van. He loved it! The van was clean and tidy. Even smelled fantastic! Sarah sends pictures and uploads videos to the Facebook group. Thank you Sarah!
Our puppy loves to spend the day there! Honey, Bethany and the gang are fantastic with her and she gets so excited to see them and have a play date!
Last Wednesday we left our 3 huskies at nesslands of Burwell and picked them up today.. They had been looked after with so much care and attention...in the day they get to play in large pens with plenty of things to climb on and pools of water too...the pens are hosed down in the hot weather, there's shade for them too. Our girls slept all the way home for 2 hours, we travelled that far because nesslands know about huskies and we won't leave them with people who don't know about huskies. I would recommend this kennels to anyone the kennel hands are really experienced and they are fantastic with dogs. If I could give 10 star's I would.
This is the second time our Nanuk has stayed at Nesslands and we are pleased how well she was looked after for 3 weeks she loved the staff who looked after her and when I picked Nanuk she gave so much fuss to them and she looked so good and was happy. Such great and fantastic staff and will definately be staying again in the future!! Thank you to all the staff at Nesslands!
We love Nesslands! An amazing team with dogs at the heart of everything they do. Anya, Tim and the girls are very knowledgeable and passionate with the care they have for canines producing exceptional dogs with incredible pedigree...some of their dogs are Crufts Award winners!! 5 of our 6 dogs are Nesslands pups and the quality shines through every single time, they take time and carefully consider each litter!
This is the 2nd time we have left our dog at this kennels Got to say our dog loved it We have already book for him to go back in September We can go away on holiday without any worries knowing the lovely staff there will look after him and he will be happy
Dogs enjoyed their 2 weeks. CMe home happy and healthy, what most can you ask.
Used this kennels for doggy daycare whilst we were at a funeral away from home. Really knowledgeable and friendly.
Really look after your per well
Our dog loves to go there
Good kennel
Saffra did a brilliant job of looking after our two bunnies while we were away for the weekend. I felt 100% relaxed leaving them in the care of someone who has so much experience with rabbits and is super knowledgeable about them. She went out of her way to make sure they had a super clean living space and all of their favourite things, and I really appreciated the updates and photos of them each day. I don’t think they even realised we were gone! Thanks so much Saffra, we will definitely be in touch next time we need someone to look after our precious bunnies!! I highly recommend to anyone with rabbits - you won’t find anyone better to look after them!
The service we received was excellent. My 2 guinea pigs were looked after for 10 days and they were very well cared for. The accommodation provided was very clean and they had everything they needed and more. We received daily updates and videos showing how they were doing which were lovely to see and watch. We will happily board them here again next time and would highly recommend.
We had Saffra looking after our two baby boys for 10 days and I could not have asked for a better person to take care of them while we were away. It was a very last minute booking but she accommodated us so well and the service was 10/10. She is responsive, hygienic, provides lots of space, sends pictures and videos of the piggies daily and gives them plenty of cuddles. I could tell they felt so at home with her and I will definitely be sending them to Nibbles and Custard again. Also she has a Vetinary background so your babies will be in good hands! Thank you so much for putting our minds at rest while they were with you. You’re great at what you do ☺️⭐️
Cannot recommend highly enough! Extremely experienced, more than 5 star pet services. Not only is it reassuring to know your pets are in safe hands with regular updates and VIP treatment. Saffra also goes above and beyond sharing helpful hints and tips to make sure your little fur babies are in tip top health. Our two piggies hope to spend all of their holidays here!
Saffra looked after our 2 guinea pigs for a week whilst on holiday. Her communication was clear and prompt, and whilst away sent us regular updates on how they were doing, including daily photos (which we requested). Very happy with the service and will definitely be using again.
Amazing cat sitter! Saffra was so friendly and we trusted her immediately with our cats, one of whom was recovering from surgery. Cats were well looked after and happy when we got home. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again for cat sitting.
Nibbles & Custard Pet Service took fantastic care of our trio of ratties whilst we went away for a week. They were let out for free roam twice a day and we had daily picture updates which was a lovely little touch! The cage was kept clean and fresh throughout and our ratties were treated with fresh veggies throughout the week. I don't think they wanted to come home! Will 110% use them again in the future😁
Absolutely perfect in every way! We were apprehensive about leaving our two cats for the first time other than kennels but wanted a service provider who could offer them the same care at home, causing no distress. I was recommended Nibbles and Custard and the service was perfect throughout. From the first home visit to discuss our pets needs, cleaning, routines, feeding, to the actual time we were away all was smooth and we felt confident the cats were being well looked after. We even got picture updates, the house was kept clean and tidy (when our monkeys made a mess) and they didn’t seem to be phased with our return which was a plus. Very happy pets and very happy owners. We will 100% be using them for all our family holidays
My two guinea pigs were looked after brilliantly by Nibbles & Custard Pet Services. One of my piggies has additional needs, and Saffra was able to make sure that all the supplements and monitoring he needed was in hand and I didn't have to worry about him. It was so reassuring to get little updates. The boys give her service 5 stars and so do I!
My piggies were so well looked after and super happy :-) the regular updates were very appreciated and I was very confident that they were in safe hands. Highly recommended.
Terri, Tina and the team, have been absolutely fantastic, to my three dogs Luna, Gracie and Rosie. Who at short notice needed daycare, for a period of time. They had never experienced being away from me. They settled quickly and happily went off with them, full of kisses!! The hygiene and facilties are exceptional. They are truly devoted to animal welfare. Thank you so much. Will be using on a regular basis Xx
This is the only place we take our pets when we need boarding. It is family owned and operated and they are always kind and helpful. They are very good to our dogs and cats and are accommodating to their dietary needs as well. They also have a lot of space out back for the dogs to exercise. I highly recommend Meow Bow Wow for your pet boarding needs!
Really friendly owner-run dog kennels. We put our three dogs into doggy daycare with short notice and they were able to accommodate. The owner took the time to show us around, including where our dogs were going to stay. The dogs were allowed to run and play in a big paddock, which they loved and the staff made our oldest dog very comfortable. The dogs loved their stay, which is always a great sign. Thank you for looking after our dogs so well!
Our 16 month Vizsla has been going to doggy day care for 6 months and it’s the best decision I made, the owners are friendly and it’s clear they are experienced and knowledgeable about dogs, they have helped with training and offered lots of advice. They treat our dog as their own it’s obvious the love they have for dogs! The staff are fantastic and most importantly our dog is so excited to greet them in the morning! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our 4 legged best friend.
Our pooch had a fantastic day. Such a warm welcome, he was playing straight away. The owner and helper have great knowledge and enthusiasm and were just lovely. The kennels are spotlessly clean and well kept. Thank you and see you again!
This was my dog's first stay in kennels and I can tell he was very well looked after. He seemed completely happy and content when I picked him up and the owners obviously care deeply about the dogs staying with them.
Very friendly and welcoming! My pup is always excited when we pull up to Meow Bow Wow, which shows how happy she is there! When I pick her up after day care she is exhausted from all the walks and playtime she has had. Lovely people, who put the dogs care first
Went with my family to collect two very happy and well looked after dogs. (German Shepherd and golden retriever) Highly recommend
Terry and Phillip have been fantastic with Charlie since day one. Charlie always loves to go to day care and gets excited as soon as we get in the car to drop him off and always sleeps as soon as hes home in the evenings. I feel relaxed knowing that he's isn't home alone and getting all the love and attention he needs while I am at work. I cannot thank you enough for giving my fur baby love, playtime and attention and I highly recommend them to anyone. You guys are amazing
My dog Layla stayed here on multiple occasions. She was always so happy when we pulled up. The staff were amazing and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby there. I have never found another kennel that even comes close to the service this kennel provides.
Kim did a fantastic job of looking after our cat whilst we were away over the Christmas break. We met her before we left and she very much put our minds at ease about leaving him. She kept us up to date the whole time and sent lots of photos and videos. He seemed very happy whilst we were gone. She even went to check on him one more time after we were delayed in arriving home. We will certainly be booking Kim the next time we go away.
I can honestly say Kim is the most amazing pet sitter. She goes the extra mile to ensure you feel your pet is getting the best care possible, with regular text updates, photos, and videos. We’ll definitely be using her services again. Thanks Kim!
Kim is the best pet sitter I’ve had! She is an amazing communicator, promptly answering my messages and sending me picture updates of my bearded dragon everyday. Kim ensured everything from bask temperature, to food, to interior decor was perfect for my beardie.
I can highly recommend Kim and her pet care service. From the initial visit to discuss what we needed, to the excellent communication while we were away she was very professional. But even more than that she really cares and took time to get to know our two older cats. The videos and pictures were very reassuring and nothing was too much trouble. I'll definitely be using her service again.
Kim is great. She is obviously very fond of animals and looked after our cat very well. She is friendly, professional and trustworthy. she also sent regular updates and pictures whilst we were away keeping our minds at ease about the safety and happiness of our cat. Highly recommended.
Kim is absolutely amazing, she is always on time and considerate. but above all our puppy Pumpkin loves her drop in visits and company. It gives us piece if mind that she is well cared for whilst we are at work.
Kim looked after my sons crested gecko, Yoshi, whilst we went on holiday, it was brilliant to find someone locally that could take in geckos, The care yoshi got while he was with Kim was 5 + stars, we also had regular updates of what he was up to which my son was very happy about. Also the advice and knowledge Kim has is incredible my son has learnt a lot from her. We would highly recommend Kim at a pet sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to send yoshi to Kim’s again 😊
Catherine has looked after our Persian cat for 3 years and we trust her implicitly. She kindly sends us updates and photos and when we come back Bo our cat looks really content. We definitely recommend her services.
Charlie has been with Happy Paws since 2017 and service has been amazing. Catherine, Jennie and the team will always go the extra mile, even when Charlie had been Ill, they would just go round and sit in the garden with him. He is always so pleased to see them, and that shows alot of trust from Charlie, who had an unsettled start in life with another family. Apart from being Charlie's walkers/carers, we also consider them all as kind and considerate friends. We would highly recommend them to anyone, you will not be disappointed. Heather, Witchford
I couldn't think of a better team to take care of my pooches! They are so lovely and take such good care for my boys like they were their own! I always get pupdates and photos too! ♡
We 100% recommend Catherine and her team for pet sitting. Catherine and Jennie have both looked after our cat and we are very happy with their care and time in making sure our cat is safe, happy, well fed and given some fuss and love whilst we are away. We also appreciate the added benefit of checking in on the house every day which gives us peace of mind. Thank you so much.
We would highly recommend Happy Paws. They have been sitting our cat for many years now - we always feel happy that she is being well cared for by the team (and she never seems to miss us!). Excellent service and would not look anywhere else.
Brilliant service. Catherine is so great with our cats, she truly cares for them and we would never trust anyone else now. Even given them medication when they have been ill and we have gone away. Highly recommend.
We have you used happy paws since 2019 for day to day walks as well as live in holiday care. Can’t recommend them enough, reliable, flexible and caring. But most importantly loved by Ziggy (the dog)
I’ve used Appletree as my dogs boarder for several years and can thoroughly recommend Penny as an excellent sitter. My dog is always happy to stay with Penny and her guests and is reluctant to leave. I always feel very comfortable leaving Cooper - he’s well looked after and has plenty of space to chill either inside or out. You won’t regret choosing Penny if you need a reliable, flexible sitter. Penny is always quick to respond to requests and is usually able to take the fuzzball.
As the owner of an Irish wolfhound I needed a home from home for her where she was a part of the family. Penny has been brilliant, we started out with a try out session just to make sure everyone was happy and that Juno would fit in with the other dogs. Happily she really settled in well and has continued to do so on many occasions. It’s very reassuring to know my dog is happy while we are away. Also I love the little updates we get during her stay. Thanks Penny ☺️
Our dog Jasper stays with Penny for a couple of weeks every year. Each time we arrive he is super excited! He makes new friends, has lots of fun and each time I leave him, I know he will be well looked after. Penny is great and gives regular updates on how he is getting on which is very reassuring. Top rate place, can't recommend highly enough.
Amazing, we couldn’t be happier than leaving our dogs with Penny, it’s really hard to find someone who loves your dogs as much as Penny does & to let other peoples dog's come into their home is amazing, it’s lovely having pictures with little updates on how the dogs are doing & to put your mind at ease while you’re on holiday. 👍🏻 …
Hamish loves being here. He always comes home as if he’d just had an amazing holiday with many friends. Penny has an amazing way with dogs. We can relax in the knowledge that Hamish is having excellent care and being treated as one of the family.
We are so lucky to discover Penny, we have a Vizsla called Paddy, that loves to be with people and Penny and Steve make him feel very much at home. He loves time spent at Penny’s. There is always something for him to do or other friendly dogs for him to socialise with. Penny’s dog care business is the epitome of a professional canine carer.
My Vizsla Hugo stayed with Penny for a few days to see how he got on before our 2 week holiday at end of the year. I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Penny had 5 more Vizslas visit her through his stay. I received many photos and a videos of him having a lovely time and he came back a very sleepy boy.
We have been taking Abby and Squid to Penny for a few years now and I wouldn't send them anywhere else. It really is a home away from home so that you can relax and know that your dogs are well taken care of while you are busy elsewhere
We've been sending our dog to Penny for years now and you can tell that she feels safe and comfortable. Poppy will keep visiting for years to come!
Penny has been looking after Rodney for a few years now. He loves it there (doesn't look back when he goes in) and is comforting to know he's well looked after whilst we are away.
I highly recommend Catherine. My border collie goes to CAPS for walks, day care and overnight stays and he absolutely loves it. Catherine is the best person to look after him and I'm so thankful I found her. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and really cares, offering advice and guidance. My dog doesn't look back when I drop him off at Catherine's - he is so pleased to be there, and he is really chilled and content when he comes back home. What more could you want!
Catherine is truly amazing! Our retriever Sophie goes to Catherine for walks and daycare. It’s clear how much she loves going there from the photos Catherine sends and we are always safe in the knowledge that she’s being so well looked after. Brilliant service and I’d highly recommend Catherine to anyone who requires pet services in the area.
Can I give more than 5*? Amazing lady who really helped me out last minute. Hunter absolutely loved his little holiday with her
Our labrador has been going to Catherine for walks/daycare/overnight stays since he was a young puppy. It is clear she cares so much for each and every pet she looks after, and there is nobody we would trust more to look after our pet when we cannot. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting/dog walking in the area
Friendly knowledgeable and excellent dog care. Our dog gets so excited when he sees us move for his travel bag.. He loves it with Catherine!
Based on this women's driving ability and road rage, (sticking her middle finger up through her van window in an aggressive manner) I would not want her anywhere near my animals or trust her in my house. Probably not the best move in a sign written van - just because I am not psychic and you have last minute indication.
Wonderful lady! Every dog Is individual to her and she is so caring to each one!
Excellent service, extremely helpful lovely lady,helped me at very short notice. Would recommend.
Wonderful company 🐾 looked after my reggie dog and taken on long fun walks …
Friendly and comfortable
Emma is a fantastic pet sitter. She adores animals and evidently loves her job. We were nervous about leaving our cat for 2 weeks, the longest we have been away, and were it not for Emma having done such a fantastic job at looking after our cat previously, we probably wouldn't have done so. Emma adapts her service to suit the needs of individual pets, and was also very helpful in keeping our plants watered and our bins emptied. When we returned, our cat was in great health and good spirits, which we knew would be the case as we had received daily updates via WhatsApp. I thoroughly recommend Emma as a pet sitter. Thank you, Emma, for continuing to do such a great job!
Emma looked after our cat for 7 days (2 visits per day) while we were on holiday, and I would highly recommend her services. I was impressed by her professionalism and kind nature during our 'meet & greet' visit, and she made my shy cat feel comfortable right away. I also appreciated her great communication while we were away, as she sent photos and videos during each visit. Thanks so much, Emma!
Gerbil sitting - Emma looked after our pet gerbil when we were away overnight. We received wonderful photo updates of our gerbil interacting with Emma and enjoying treats, and a lovely "report card" describing how well behaved he was! Having a pet-sitter helped put my mind at ease with going away and leaving the gerbil on his own, and the gerb seemed to have a lovely time with his new friend too! I would definitely recommend Mongoose Pet Services to anyone in the local area who would like a friendly, responsible and approachable pet sitter.
Emma is the most amazing cat sitter. Her communication is amazing, from pre-visits to get to know our cat, to fantastic daily WhatsApp reports with photos while we were away which really helped to reassure us that our fur baby was being really well looked and was happy and healthy. Emma left us a detailed sheet showing all of her visits and what she had fed our cat each day. She also reported how much our cat had eaten, which was a concern when we had left our cat before. Emma spent time cuddling our cat and reassuring her every day and we were so impressed with how happy and calm our cat was when we came back. I am so happy to have found Emma and will be using her services every time we go away in future. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a kind, caring, responsible pet sitter for their pets. Thank you so much Emma!!
Dog care at home. Emma has done a brilliant job for me several times, looking after my dog with long walks and feeding him when I have been away. She has visited him at home and is always on time, friendly and keen to keep me updated with photos of a happy dog and feedback as to how he has behaved. I would strongly recommend Emma to anyone who needs a trustworthy person to look after their pets at home.
Emma was AMAZING! She provided the best service for two first time cat parents leaving their fur babies for the first extended period since having them. From the start she was so professional and reassuring, but you could see the love and passion she has for animals (especially kitties!) really shine through. We had plenty of photos through every day and could see our girls were so comfortable with her. She went above and beyond, changing the litter more times than we asked and always getting the bins out in the nick of time! We’ll absolutely be using Emma again when we go away next 😊
Emma offers an excellent cat sitting service - I can’t recommend her highly enough. This was the first time we had used a cat sitting service and Emma’s attention to detail on her pre visit and her daily WhatsApp messages with photos and videos while we were away were very reassuring. Our cat was happy and relaxed. I would not hesitate to ask Emma to sit for us again in the future. Thanks Emma.
It’s hard to express how grateful we are for Emma’s help over the last two years. She has gone above and beyond to look after our two cats Higgs and Nala. This includes noticing that Higgs was showing signs of a hip issue and taking him to an emergency vets appointment (on New Year’s Day!) and looking after him until we got home. She is also extremely organised, with excellent communication, and sends lots of photos which are very appreciated. There is nobody more trustworthy and capable to leave in charge of your pets, we (and the cats) will really miss Emma when we move from Ely. Thanks for everything!
Emma takes time to find out your pet-care needs, explains what she can offer and how she will deliver it, carefully works out the plan for looking after your pets and does it all with kindness and a sense of humour. We were nervous about leaving our cats at home for the first time, but feel very lucky to have found Emma. You need look no further.
Emma is absolutely wonderful. She's detail oriented, reliable and very communicative. We've worked with a number of local pet sitters to take care of our house rabbits whilst we're on vacation and Emma has been by far the best. She is incredibly conscientious in her work, and loves what she does. I really can't recommend her enough!
We have had five lovely cairn pups from lindcoly since 1993. The family run business dedicates their lives to breed beautiful dogs. Haven't used the kennels so can't comment on those. Can highly recommend them.
Highly recommend Lindcoly, we've had two Cairn Terriers from them and they have both been the most loving and loyal companions. Wouldn't hesitate to go back again for another one in future.
Over the past five years, there have been four reported incidents of dog theft in this area, including cases involving four Flat-Coated Retrievers, several Jack Russells, and a Cairn Terrier. While it remains unclear whether these incidents were genuine thefts or publicity stunts, they raise important concerns.. It is surprising that, given the history of such incidents, the facility has not implemented enhanced security measures to prevent further occurrences. Additionally, it is worth questioning why they continue to board dogs despite their kennels being repeatedly targeted. As a responsible dog owner, I prioritise my pets safety above all else. For this reason, I would not feel comfortable boarding my dogs at a facility with such a track record.
Am very happy with the service of these boarding kennels. They are very knowledgeable and can help with my “difficult dog” who is not happy with strangers. Dogs always come home happy. Wouldn’t trust any where else to look after my fur babies.
The two cairns we have from Lindcoly are fit, healthy and have lovely temperaments. They love their dogs and they are well cared for.
I was not happy with the kennel experience last time and got recommended to this kennel to send my dog during Christmas holiday. On both delivery and pick up day it was heavy downpour but I can see their stuff in raincoat walking dog one by one. I brought my own dog food and treat and they took notes of my instructions carefully. Due to flight reschedule I came back one week later than expected. In between I sent them an email checking on my dog. It gets replied in no time saying my dog is doing well and asking if they can feed him with their own food as mine has run out. These actions really calm me down while separating with my dog and I'm happy to see him nice and bouncy exactly the same condition as I sent him (except a bit dirtier). The facility of this kennel is basic but they provide extra heater, dog walking and care which is enough for my expectation. Besides their rate seems cheaper than most other kennels, which can be a big saving if you leave dogs for 2-3 weeks period. Thank you and strong recommended!
A lot of the animals on site are constantly barking and howling, they sound stressed!
Had to have my cat taken care of for just under a month due to taking holiday in another country. Great friendly staff who immediately attended to myself as I arrived. Great heated and spacious area for my cat to live in for the time being. Good location away from too much noise from the local roads.
Little crazy blaze loves it here. The staff are really good.
Great experience leaving my dog there for 12 days and for a very fair price. They took care of her while I went to visit my family, attended her needs as she is a bit special after having spent a year in a shelter before she came to me, gave her treats and groomed her before I picked her up. And they were pleased to attend my calls asking how she was doing during her stay with them.
