I would have Emily back anytime
Jeremy was a perfect fit for my fur babies and apartment. He communicates clearly and often both in-person and over the phone. The house looked great when I returned. My elderly disabled chihuahua clearly dug his dude energy and the kittens were at ease. I heartedly recommend him for others and look forward to him sitting for my boys in the future.
Lindsey was a great house and dog sitter. She was very respectful of the space and took great care of our dog Einstein, who clearly loved her. She sent frequent updates and was very easy to communicate with. I really appreciated the regular pics of Einstein. She was here when it got quite hot and was the first to discover that the AC wasn’t working as well as it should. Throughout she remained I adaptable. I am also very appreciate that she was flexible enough to stay an extra day when our flight back to LA was canceled. Overall a great sitter and I’d have her back anytime (and promise the ac will be working then!).
Autumn's plans were canceled so she had to return early but she asked me to stay on a her guest which I gladly accepted and now I call this wonderful lady my friend. Autumn's beautiful home is not only exceptionally clean, comfortable and organized but it's also in the perfect location within a few minutes walk to everything. Combine that with three perfect pets that I came to adore, Dashing Rudy the Vizla, Cuddle bunny Neko the Sphinx and stunning cautious on the outside and mushy love on the inside, Jamu the Bengal, and you have the perfect sit. If you get the chance to hang out with the boys, grab it with both hands but hopefully I'll beat you to it. Thank you Autumn for everything 🙏 ❤️

I have sent my puppy Buddy (almost 10 months) to Simon & Leah twice for home boarding & am really happy with the service they provide. My dog is a lab & at times can be hard work as he is still young and in training, Simon & Leah are great with him, follow his daily schedule best they can & know exactly how to cater for his needs. Their dog Koda is great with Buddy, they go on walks by the beach & he always comes home super sleepy after having so much fun. I feel really comfortable leaving him with them & will continue to use them going forward! Thank you
From the moment we met Simon and Leah we knew we were putting our puppy in safe hands. Betsy was a 6 month old Newfoundland with an abundance of energy like all puppies do. Simon and Leah’s calming dedicated nature immediately put our minds at rest. Betsy attends daily walks and once a week day care. Because of the lock down we were unable to socialise Betsy in the normal manner so her interaction with other dogs when with Simon and Leah has become invaluable and her confidence and recall have improved immensely. Betsy now waits by the door each morning ready for them to arrive. I feel blessed to have found Simon and Leah and I can’t thank them enough for the love and care they give Betsy every day.
They walked my dog he loved his walks with we love pets, there service and quality is fantastic timing excellent l would very highly recommend they are now doing house sitting ect l love the fact when you go to them you have peace of mind and can fell your animal will be safe in there hands and the staff are very kind and caring X
Simon and Leah are amazing. They came to visit us at home with our dog and took the time to get to know her needs and quirks. It was obvious they had a very calming effect on her and she took to them quickly. She has the best day when she goes to stay with them at doggy day care. So much so that I'm worried she won't want to come back one day. Highly recommend!
Great company to use. Very professional and really care about the animals and the service they offer. My dog is so excited every time staff walk him and I know he is in safe hands. Could not recommend highly enough. So happy I have found this company.
Simon and Leah are amazing! They are truly passionate about what they do and are so caring and so so helpful, often at short notice. They are super reliable and dependable and very professional. My Husksy absolutely loves them both and they are so kind to her.. she gets taken on some lovely walks and has been so calm and well behaved since they have been walking her. I would highly recommend them and would never have her walked or looked after by anyone else. A tip top service!! Thank you so much Simon and Leah for your kind care.
Simon, Leah and their team of fab dog walkers are simply brilliant! I can rest assured that my dog is safe and getting good exercise/socialisation. Good communication, value for money, trustworthy and reliable. I've relied on Simon and Leah for dog sitting too - a home from home for my dog. They've gone out of their way to help pick up and drop off, as a non-driver, and haven't ever charged extra for this! Lovely folks who really do love pets! :)
I didn't know Simon and Leah before they started boarding my dog for me. Simon and Leah are completely professional, before starting regular boarding for me, they met with me to discuss, what I needed when I needed it and discussed in detail about my dog and her needs. She always looks forward to seeing them! I do drive to Colchester for home boarding but I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my dog. Friendly, reliable and caring!
When I met Simon and Leah I knew they were the right people to trust with my doggo. For the last month Diego has had a 1 hour weekly morning walk with them. I pay 1 month up front and it's really reasonably priced. Diego is so excited to see Simon on a Wednesday morning and comes back a happy and well exercised boy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend We Love Pets to anyone! Thank you Leah and Simon!
We have been so so impressed with the level of service we have received for our two spaniels from We Love Pets Colchester. They are so flexible and our pups absolutely love their visits from Maria! The photos and videos always bring a smile to our face, and we would highly recommend to other pet owners. We now have two very happy pups whilst we’re out at work!
Ally is a kind and caring individual that all the dogs and their owners love and respect. Ally takes time getting to know your furry friend and takes each individuals needs into account. Ally has always worked with animals and has a lot of experience and knowledge working with dogs. Ally will look after your pet as if it were her own. My Barney has gone to Ally for a while now and is always comfortable in Allys presence and enjoys his walks with all the dogs going to various locations.
Our dog has just spent a wonderful 2 weeks with Ally. She came back happy and relaxed, looking really well. Plenty of varied walks and enrichment during her stay. Ally took time to find out all about her and her routines etc in the lead up to her stay so it really was home from home. Ally is fantastic with animals and I felt completely comfortable leaving our girl in her care. I would highly recommend Ally and won't hesitate to have our dog stay with her again.
Ralph's first stay with Happy Tails & he had a whale of a time. Ally was really friendly & you can just hear the passion in her voice she has for dogs. Ally sent me photos & videos off Ralph's stay. Look like he didn't miss us one bit! Highly recommended & will definitely book again. Thank you 😊 …
From the moment I first met Ally from Happytails I knew my dog would be so well looked after. Ally has given me such a piece of mind knowing that my dog is having lovely walks whilst I am at work. My dog absolutely adores her and has so much fun. Ally is extremely professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend her.
We feel so fortunate to have discovered Happytailssuffolk. Ally looked after our little dog so attentively, in our own home, for a couple of days and over night, while we were away. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves in the knowledge that Amber was happy and safe in her own familiar environment. It’s great to know we can plan more trips away…and we will most certainly be recommending Happytailssuffolk
Happytails has been fantastic at meeting our needs for a dog walker. Our dog loves Ally and is very chilled out after his walks with her.
Ally is lovely very professional and friendly and has lots of experience
Cant recommend Ally enough. Experienced and friendly.
One2one pet services offer a first class environment for your pet. Kim has had my dogs for two stays and will definitely be using her again. I’ve also called on her to look after my dogs as and when I need her. She is extremely professional and at a reasonable price. My dogs love her and Matt. It’s home from home.
Excellent care for our 3 dogs. Kim is sensitive to their needs and nothing is too much trouble for her. Even our 13 year old loves her walks and cuddles with Kim. She even lets her hop in her bed if they're staying overnight!
Kim has been an absolute godsend - we moved to Harwich in July and worried about our doggie care - we found Kim and her partner - our intro meeting went so well I was already at ease - Kim has looked after my Jack a few times and I couldn’t be happier, comfortable or at ease. Kim sends pictures of Jack having the time of his life, clearly not missing daddy - great…!!! :-) Kim, is so accommodating picking up Jack or dropping him off - I so pleased and thoroughly recommend her services - thank you for everything. Xxxx
Just wanted to pop on and say how happy I am with Kim's service. We have her 4 days a week and the pups love her. It's always hard finding someone you feel you can trust and that is what we have found. Kim is great with the pups she is always punctual and has been very easy going when we have had to rearrange times etc... if you are looking for a fairly priced, friendly and extremely knowledgeable animal lover then look know further, we wont use anyone else!
I knew Kim was the right person to look after my dogs when I met her. She is extremely conscientious, very friendly & it's obvious that she understands & loves animals. We left our 2 dogs with Kim for 4 days in what she described as "their holiday" They were extremely well looked after & we received regular Pupdates & photographs including one of them enjoying a sleepover at their house. ( My Son was out for the night) Both my son & neighbour commented on how lovely & calm she was around the dogs & we came home to 2 contented dogs, a well watered garden & very satisfied garden birds! I can't recommend her highly enough. 😊
Kim visits us once a week to train our dog. Really understands dogs and makes it all look so easy. Always completes a report for us to follow so that we know what we should be concentrating on. Would be very happy to recommend her services.
Kim never fails to deliver.. This is a great service, I can go to work without worrying about how my babies are and every two weeks I come home to clean, sweet smelling dogs. Thank you Kim.
One2one is perfect in every way 100% highly recommend pet service give them a call and find out yourself.
Excelent service we couldnt have left luna with anyone better thank you kim x
Easy, prompt booking . Helpful.
Excellent service provided by Stow kennels....very clean premises and set in beautiful surroundings. Nelly stayed for 4 days and was looked after fantastically came home a very happy relaxed puppy. Thank you for looking after our fur baby and all the cuddles n love given to her ❤️.
The Stowe family look after my big boy Blake with love and care. Just came back home after, laying on the carpet after a long weekend with Clare and Paul. Xx
Brilliant service. Our fur babies loved their overnight stay. Staff friendly, professional and care about their boarders. Clean kennels. Good website very responsive with any queries. Have booked again.
Both of my dogs C and B are very happy at Stow farm. B is a lively and she loves everyone so naturally got on really well. C is more nervous of people and other environments. He got on really well and after a couple of days warming up to the staff enjoyed his time there. Both dogs came home with no issues and very happy. We have been using the kennels under the the new and former owners on and off since 2004 and have seen vast improvements since the new owners have taken over. We returned to Essex last year. We even got updates whilst we were away which was great. Thank you Stow Farm for taking excellent care of our fur family.
Excellent service from making initial booking all the way through to drop off & collection. We have used these kennels twice this year & are very impressed, so much so, we have already booked again. Big thank you to Clare and Paul for all their hard work (& for the photos of our pooch thoroughly enjoying his own little holiday!). Would definitely recommend 100%.
Friendly very accommodating. I am happy for my dog to board here!
My 2 puggies have just stayed they and they loved it is a lovely place thanks for looking after us maxie and teddy
You can tell they love the dogs here. What a lovely place 😍 …
Looked after our dogs for 1 week. They came home happy healthy and well fed. Excellent place.
I have used these kennels for years and find them very caring and welcoming. I am sure the dogs look forward to seeing all the staff.
Amazing match was found for my dog while we were away in Asia. And am now about to book another pet stay . Fantastic service. You can completely relax it is extremely well run.
Am yet to use the service, however communication excellent, immediate response to email, most helpful and good advice. I contacted them because of good recommendations.
Wasn't interested in looking after our dog, after we enquired about dates they were already busy on they said they were busy and couldn't help, when asked about other dates they didn't respond to messages.
I have been using Steve for several years now and trust him completely with my 2 cats. I wouldn’t use anyone else! Steve has a natural affinity with animals and has spent ages getting my rescue cats to feel comfortable with him. Nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend.
We have been using Adored Animals Hospitality for a number of years now and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Steve and his team have always provided a 5 star service when looking after both our dog Monty (who absolutely adores Steve) and our cats who are always happy when they’re visited to be fussed, fed & watered. I would highly recommend any of the services provided by Steve
Our dogs were very well looked after by Steve and Lottie while we were away. The home sitting was great and minimised disruption for the dogs. Steve is always very friendly and reliable, and we would highly recommend his services.
I can't speak highly enough of AAH, Stephen's passion for all animals is evident in his enthusiasm for offering a really great service ranging from popping in to feed your pet to arranging for his carefully vetted hosts to care for your friend if you're away. It's so reassuring to know that when you can't be there for your pet, Stephen is. Best pet care service I've found in Colchester.
Fantastic service very trustworthy friendly help me out loads . Always on time . Great valve for money peace of mind . Thanks again
Steve is a wonderful caring man, Highly recommended.
Thank you for reviewing us!
Our little lab attends Happi Days every work day and absolutely loves it. They celebrate the dog's birthdays and always have themed events depending on the time of year. They also offer a discount if your dog attends more than a certain number of days a month. As of September we won't need daily day care for our pup but we'll still take him in on the odd occasion to see his pals.
So, so happy with the discovery of Happi Days! I thought it was just day care, I wasn't aware of the grooming service, a friend recommended them. We had Sophie as our groomer, the whole experience is a good one. You can feel the lovely atmosphere the second you walk into the place. Never been so impressed with a groomers, can't recommend them enough. I'd also like to point out the value for money. The amount of "extras" you get as the standard package is brilliant. For example, Pets At Home would charge extra for the nails cutting, Happy Days don't, that's just a standard thing they do.
my doggo loves it there always comes out happy and the staff are very caring xx
Amazing staff that really are great at what they do and always super cheerful and friendly. Oh, and Zed always comes home tired, which is a bonus.
Great daycare. Competitively priced. Opens at 7am unlike many others.
Lettie loves happi days. Initially, she was shy but now can't wait to run in!
Seems like a lovely place: we were looking for options on day time care from a surprise dog arrival. However, the cost was too much. I must specify that this is not a reflection on this company specifically. Dog daycare in general is an expensive cost which was something we cannot afford. This looked like the best in the area!
We take our dog to happi days and as soon as we mention the word she gets really excited. They do so much with her from partues to agility, walking in woods.
Plenty for dogs to do. They offer extras too for busy owners, like wash, groom, woodland walks. They take photos every day so you can see what your pooch got up to. Our dog has been for two half day sessions and comes home whacked but happy. Opens early and finishes late to fit in and the offer over night stays too.
Our dog goes to Happi Days Dog Day Care every week day and comes back home very tired so she must definitely enjoy her time there! They put daily pictures on facebook so that we can see what our dog has been up to. Staff are friendly. They also offer wood walks and other treatments but we have not tried them. I would definitely recommend them if you have got a high energy dog like ours (she's a beagle!). The price is also competitive in comparison to other creches.
Sam has been walking our dog Cooper for awhile now and he absolutely adores her. Sam is amazing with dogs and shows him so much attention during her visits to him. Sam has also given us some fantastic advice to help cooper.
Sam has cared for our cats many times over the years. She provides an exceptional service and all of my cats love her. She sends regular video and picture updates while we're away which are always lovely to see.
My Jack Russell Poppy loves Sam. So happy with Sam.
We've used Sam before, and she recently made twice-daily visits to our cat (Trubshawe), who developed Vestibular Disease a couple of weeks before our (UK) holiday. As Trubs is 15 now, he also has thyroid-related health problems that require oral treatment twice daily. Sam was first class, and kept us updated with how he was progressing from the beginning. My wife was greatly reassured that Trubshawe was getting some quality time with someone who was very much in tune with what he needed. Obviously there's sometimes attendant unpleasantness that comes with an indoor cat, but Sam knew right from the outset that we really wanted to be updated on Everything. We greatly appreciated the messages, photos and videos that accompanied her visits. Highly recommended and will definitely use her services again. Thank you.
Sam came and looked after our kitten Dulcie for several months and I can only sing her praises! The deep love and passion she has for animals clearly shows in her work! Dulcie came to see Sam as a best friend because that was how much attention and care Sam gave her. Every minute of our 30 minute sessions we spent playing, feeding and petting Dulcie and she loved every minute of it! If you need someone to look after your pet, then look no further because to put it simply. SAM IS THE BEST!
Highly recommend Sam and Kerry for dog walks and pop in visits! They’re both great with our Golden Retriever, and Sam is always prompt and professional with her communication. Thank you :)
Sam was fantastic with my 2 dogs, 1 with special needs. We had to change plans a couple of times and she was always understanding and professional. I would definitely use Sam's services again and recommend her to other pet owners.
Sam is absolutely amazing! Our 2 cats love her more than they love us; as soon as she walks in they go straight to her! I would recommend Sam 1000% to anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter/dog walker. 💗🐱🐱
Sam has been looking after our mad cockapoo Ruby 😊 for about 9 months now since we first brought her home at 8 weeks old. She takes Ruby out twice a day for us when we are at work and is always reliable and on time. It gives us great peace of mind that Ruby is in such safe hands during the day and Ruby absolutely adores her. Highly recommended. Ciaran and Lisa
Sam walks our 2 dogs regularly, she’s reliable and accommodating and most importantly the dogs love her!
My doggy companion always knows that she is soon going off on another holiday as soon as I get her Barking Mad bag out and start getting packing it - her tail starts wagging, and she knows that lovely, friendly Julie will be coming to take her safely to her holiday host, where she will have a fab time being spoiled by a welcoming, caring family. I can go off on my own breaks safe in the knowledge that my dog will be well cared for and happy, and we owners get regular text updates and pics of our dogs. I could not be happier with the service.
Julie has been an absolute blessing to our family. She runs the Barking Mad Colchester and Tendering branch with such professionalism and care and we cannot recommend her enough. We do a lot of traveling and are so grateful for the peace of mind that Barking Mad provides. You can relax while on holiday knowing that your dog is having a holiday too! Our golden retriever Snow has the time of her life when she visits her Barking Mad host families - we know because of the lovely postcard we get from Snow upon her return! Julie also texts me pictures of Snow’s holiday and lets me know that Snow has settled in her holiday home. When Julie comes to pick Snow up, she can hardly wait to leave and runs to the car. Even just seeing us pack up her Barking Mad bag gets Snow excited! We are so grateful to Julie for the exceptional service she has given us.
There Web sit is OK not the best but they will get there. Xx
